In public discourse, the increasing lifespan in Western countries is often linked to longer life in good health. However, studying human aging in modern societies is complex because outcomes are shaped by numerous social, behavioral, and environmental factors, including medical advances, food security, poverty, alcohol use, and civil violence.

People who reported spending six or more hours on screens outside of school or work had worse blood pressure, cholesterol, and body mass index (BMI) compared with those with more limited screen time, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session (ACC.26).

A global team of leading scientists is zeroing in on a tiny but powerful molecule that could reshape how we age. Known as NAD⁺, it plays a crucial role in keeping our cells energized, repairing DNA, and maintaining overall health—but its levels steadily decline over time, potentially fueling diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Researchers are now exploring ways to boost NAD⁺ using compounds like NR and NMN, with early studies hinting at improvements in memory, metabolism, and physical function.

As the treatment of aging as a medical condition became more mainstream, there was a tendency for advocates and researchers to avoid talking about extending life span. They instead talked about pushing back the onset of poor health and even said explicitly that the goal of research and development was not to lengthen overall human life. From the perspective of aging as an accumulation of cell and tissue damage and potential rejuvenation therapies as repair of that damage, this view is incoherent. A priori, we know that repairing damage will extend both the overall life span and the period of good function in machinery, including biology. This is well studied under the heading of reliability theory, modeling how damaged systems fail. In medicine, however, we […]

The standard view of the evolution of aging is that aging exists because natural selection operates more strongly on features of young animals than on features of old animals. A faster time to reproductive success will be selected over a slower time to reproductive success. This leads to the evolution of biological systems that are front-loaded for early efficiency, but that decay to become dysfunctional over time. Aging is near universal but not actually universal, however. For example, varieties of hydra are in fact immortal, exhibiting no loss of function over time. How to explain the existence of the few immortal species in the presently dominant view of the evolution of aging? Here, researchers build a model of the evolution of aging in which a […]

An increasing number of cells in aged tissues enter a senescent state, ceasing replication and generating pro-inflammatory signals that are disruptive to tissue structure and function. In the case of innate immune cells, however, there is some question as to whether they are in fact senescent or just adopting features of senescence, and that leads to debate over whether these cells are in fact harmful. Neutrophils, also known as polymorphonuclear leukocytes, are an important cell type in the innate immune system. Here, researchers show that neutrophils in aged individuals exhibit features of cellular senescence, but stop short of calling them senescent cells. They also show that this behavior is harmful, as it impedes the immune response to infection. Aging drives increased susceptibility to respiratory infections […]

Cycling might be one of the simplest ways for older adults to stay healthier, longer. A 10-year study in Japan found that seniors who rode bicycles had lower risks of needing long-term care and dying—especially those who didn’t drive.

Ultra-sensitive food safety tests may be contributing to food waste and unavailability with little benefit for public health, according to international scientists. The team acknowledges that food safety is a concern, with around 420,000 deaths and 600 million cases of illness each year globally from food containing dangerous microbes, but they say 'zero-detection' approaches should be replaced with evidence-based targets for 'sufficiently safe' food. The authors argue this would make food systems more sustainable, while continuing to protect public health. They discuss how regulators could find trade-offs with other important factors, such as food supply security, sustainability, and nutritional health.

Most programs aiming to produce therapies that treat aging involve some form of manipulation of cellular metabolism, usually via small molecules initially derived from screens that showed effects on function or survival in lower animals. Effect sizes are usually modest, and decrease relative to species life span as species life span increases; large increases in function and life span in a nematode worm translate to modest gains in a mouse. Where we have the ability to compare mice and humans, in the matter of growth hormone metabolism and calorie restriction, we know that sizable gains in mice do not translate to sizable gains in humans. Researchers, particularly Brian Kennedy's team, have shown that most combinations of this sort of intervention fail to be useful. Any […]
