Want to live to 100? Skip the gym, this daily habit matters more; longevity expert reveals
Forget the gym—living longer could hinge on simple daily habits. Dr. Gareth Nye emphasizes whole-day activity, clean eating, quality sleep, and genetic awareness as the real drivers of longevity. Standing desks, frozen veggies, and knowing your family health risks might be more effective than intense workouts in boosting life expectancy and preventing chronic illness.
Vitamin D supplements help slow telomere shortening linked to biological aging
Results from the VITAL randomized controlled trial reveal that vitamin D supplementation helps maintain telomeres, protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that shorten during aging and are linked to the development of certain diseases.
The new report, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, is based on data from a VITAL sub-study co-led by researchers at Mass General Brigham and the Medical College of Georgia, and supports a promising role in slowing a pathway for biological aging.
“VITAL is the first large-scale and long-term randomized trial to show that vitamin D supplements protect telomeres and preserve telomere length,” said co-author JoAnn Manson, MD, principal investigator of VITAL and chief of the Division of Preventive Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
Skin cancer is a growing threat to older adult men as global population ages
Researchers at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University in China have uncovered a sharply rising burden of skin cancer in older adults driven largely by population growth and affecting men twice as often.
Skin cancer already ranks among the costliest malignancies to treat, and an aging world means more time for ultraviolet damage to accumulate. Previous research shows older patients now make up nearly three-quarters of new cases, yet global data capturing the full scope and trend in those over 65 remains scarce.
In the study, “Burden of Skin Cancer in Older Adults From 1990 to 2021 and Modelled Projection to 2050,” published in JAMA Dermatology, researchers mined the Global Burden of Diseases 2021 registry to quantify how melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma affect adults aged 65 and older worldwide.
