Longevity news
Healthy ageing and lifespan, with a firm filter against hype.
What this desk covers
The longevity desk covers ageing and healthy lifespan: the habits with the strongest evidence, the science behind popular longevity claims, and where the hype outruns the data. The unglamorous basics tend to win here.
Common threads include muscle and balance in later life, the evidence (and gaps) behind fasting and supplements, and why sleep, movement and diet still do most of the work.
Fresh Longevity items are added as credible reporting appears. The background below applies whenever you read on this topic.
How to read longevity news
Whatever the headline, weigh it before you act on it. These are the checks this desk uses.
| Trust it more when it is… | Be wary when it is… |
|---|---|
| A large randomised trial or systematic review | A single small study or one person's anecdote |
| The effect size in real terms | A scary relative risk with no absolute numbers |
| Done in humans | Only mice or cells, but sold as human advice |
| Peer-reviewed in a named journal | A press release or an unsourced claim |
| Fits the wider body of evidence | A lone result that supposedly overturns everything |
