"This is really consistent with a larger body of science that tells us that diets that are lower in fat, lower in sugar, higher in vegetables overall, are what's really better for our brain health," said one expert.

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.

Lifestyle changes can reduce dementia risk by maintaining brain plasticity — but the time to act is now
Lifestyle changes can reduce dementia risk by maintaining brain plasticity — but the time to act is now
Walk 10,000 steps a day, cut back alcohol, get better sleep at night, stay socially active — we’re told that changes like these can prevent up to 40 per cent of dementia cases worldwide. Given that dementia is still one of the most feared diseases, why aren’t we pushing our doctors and governments to support these lifestyle changes through new programs and policy initiatives? The truth, however, is more complex. We know that making lifestyle...

Study links certain fatty acids in blood to decreased Alzheimer’s risk
Study links certain fatty acids in blood to decreased Alzheimer’s risk
In a significant stride towards understanding Alzheimer’s disease, researchers have discovered that higher levels of certain fatty acids in the blood are associated with a lower risk of brain changes typical of the disease. This finding, published in The Journals of Gerontology: Series A, could pave the way for more effective early detection and ma...
