Colorectal Cancer Is Now Leading Cause of Cancer Deaths in People Under 50
Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of death due to cancer for Americans under 50, according to a new report from the American Cancer Society (ACS). The report found that colon cancer death rates are rising annually, while deaths from other major cancers have declined.
Stanford scientists found a way to regrow cartilage and stop arthritis
Scientists at Stanford Medicine have discovered a treatment that can reverse cartilage loss in aging joints and even prevent arthritis after knee injuries. By blocking a protein linked to aging, the therapy restored healthy, shock-absorbing cartilage in old mice and injured joints, dramatically improving movement and joint function. Human cartilage samples from knee replacement surgeries also began regenerating when exposed to the treatment.

All forms of exercise help you live longer, but some activities come with extra benefits.
A global cancer surge is underway and the world is not ready
Global cancer cases have surged dramatically, doubling since 1990 and reaching 18.5 million new diagnoses in 2023. Deaths have also climbed to over 10 million a year, with the steepest increases hitting low- and middle-income countries. Without urgent action, researchers project more than 30 million new cases annually by 2050. Alarmingly, around four in ten cancer deaths are tied to preventable risks such as smoking, poor diet, and high blood sugar.
Faster biological aging predicts lower cognitive test scores 7 years later
An analysis of Framingham Heart Study data reveals that accelerated DNA methylation aging predicts worse performance on the digital Clock Drawing Test nearly a decade later.
Study links full-fat cheese to lower dementia risk
Eating full-fat cheese and cream may be associated with a lower risk of dementia, according to a large study that tracked people for more than 25 years. Those who consumed higher amounts of these foods developed dementia less often than those who ate little or none. Interestingly, low-fat dairy products did not show the same pattern. Researchers caution that the findings show an association, not cause and effect.

The body trait that helps keep your brain young
Scientists discovered that more muscle and less hidden abdominal fat are linked to a younger biological brain age. Deep visceral fat appeared to accelerate brain aging, while muscle mass offered a protective effect.

Scientists just shattered a major exercise myth
New research from Australia overturns the old idea that exercise “uses up” heartbeats. It shows that fitter people actually use fewer total heartbeats each day thanks to their lower resting heart rates, even when accounting for workouts. Athletes’ hearts beat around 10% less daily, saving over 11,000 beats per day compared to sedentary people. This efficiency not only signals cardiovascular fitness but also translates to longer life expectancy and lower disease risk.

Principal component-based clinical aging clocks identify signatures of healthy aging and targets for clinical intervention | Nature Aging
Certainly! Here's a summary of the key points from the web page:
- Biological Age Clocks: The study developed biological age clocks to predict a person's age, which may differ from chronological age, and found that a reduced-calorie diet significantly reduced biological aging.
- CALERIE Study: Data from the Comprehensive Assessment of Long-term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy (CALERIE) study supported the findings, showing that mild caloric restriction reduced known cardiovascular disease risk factors.
- Telomere Length: Research indicated that caloric restriction initially accelerated telomere loss, but after two years and weight stabilization, telomere length was similar to those on a standard diet, suggesting a slowdown in biological aging[^1^][1].
- Future Mortality Prediction: Advanced aging clocks, based on biomarkers, offer a new way to test intervention strategies and predict future mortality without long-term studies.
