  "summary": "Research in model organisms has consistently shown that mild, non ethal heat stress can prolong lifespan. Although causal data are lacking in more complex animals, human observational research has linked sauna bathing to cardiovascular protection and improved age related outcomes. To examine whether sauna use may influence aging related biology, we retrospectively analyzed longitudinal…",
