Of >105,000 participants with 30-year follow-up, only 9.3% achieved healthy aging (age 70, w/o any chronic diseases). Their diet was significantly associated with this outcome. @naturemedicine.bsky.social

Adherence to these diets (most to least in quintiles) linked to healthy aging

Optimal dietary patterns for healthy aging - Nature Medicine In two longitudinal cohorts followed for 30 years, the associations of eight different dietary patterns with healthy aging—encompassing cognitive, physical and mental health—were studied, identifying ...

Bottom line: A Mediterranean type diet high in fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, whole grains, low fat dairy products, plant-based foods, and reduced sodium, trans fats, animal-based foods, sugary beverages, ultra- processed foods was the optimal pattern. Link nature.com/articles/s41...

Aging activates escape of the silent X chromosome in the female mouse hippocampus Aging activates the silent X chromosome, increasing escape expression, and potentially cognitive resilience, in the female mouse.

"We could all use a little more X!" Thrilled our new study is out. Aging "wakes up" the silent X chromosome in the female brain - and this contributes cognitive resilience. Spearheaded by @margaretgadek.bsky.social in Science Advances. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Integrating the environmental and genetic architectures of aging and mortality - Nature Medicine Based on a systematic analysis of environmental exposures associated with aging and mortality in the UK Biobank, the relative contributions of such exposures and genetic risk for mortality and a range...

Our lifestyle and environmental exposures are the predominant influencers of healthy aging and premature mortality, compared with polygenic risk, in the first comprehensive assessment
