Major conditions strategy: call for evidence
Department of Health and Social Care -A call for evidence has been launched to invite views on how best to prevent, early diagnose, treat, and manage the six major groups of conditions which drive-ill health and contribute to the burden of disease in the population in England. The six major health conditions – cancer; cardiovascular diseases including stroke and diabetes; chronic respiratory diseases; dementia; mental ill-health and; musculoskeletal disorders – affect millions of people in England with data showing that one in four suffer from two or more of these major long-term conditions.Call for evidenceDepartment ...

A Long-Term Comparison of Metformin in Diabetics with Non-Diabetic Controls
We examined longevity in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients treated with metformin therapy and compared them to matched controls and T2D patients treated with sulphonylurea therapy. Looking at individuals over a period of up to twenty years we showed that T2D patients had shorter survival times after first treatment than matched controls. When the study period was artificially truncated, we found a statistically significant benefit of metformin therapy for longevity over matched non-diabetic controls within the first three years. However, this benefit disappeared when we looked over longer periods of time (after five years). ...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, May 15th 2023
In this study, we examined the average telomere length and telomerase activity, as well as the formation of telomere associated foci (TAFs) and the mRNA expression levels of the shelterin components in cultured primary cells of Spalax, a long-lived, hypoxia-tolerant, and cancer-resistant blind mole-rat species. We showed that with cell passages, Spalax fibroblasts demonstrated significant shortening in telomere length, similar to rat cells, and in line with the processes observed earlier in tissues. We also demonstrated that the average telomere length in Spalax fibroblasts was significantly higher than the average ...

Measures of Biological Age Largely Correlate with Cancer Risk
Cancer is an age-related condition. With age, there is a greater background of mutational damage that spreads throughout tissues. Greater inflammatory, pro-growth signaling by lingering senescent cells makes the environment more hospitable for cancerous growth once it is underway. The aging immune system becomes ever less able to destroy precancerous and cancerous cells rapidly enough to stop a cancer in its earliest stages. Thus we should expect people who show an accelerated biological age to exhibit a greater risk of cancer, and this is largely the case. Most measures of biological age have quirks, however, as th...

The New Alzheimer ' s Therapies are Not What One Would Call Successful
The first batch of immunotherapies demonstrated to be capable of clearing extracellular amyloid-β from the brain have performed poorly in late stage Alzheimer's patients. Data is beginning to emerge for their ability to modestly slow down the progression of the condition at earlier stages, however. This somewhat fits with the amyloid cascade hypothesis, in that it is evidence to support the idea that amyloid-β is no longer important to disease progression once the condition has reached the stage of becoming a feedback loop involving tau aggregation, chronic inflammation, and cell death. Unfortunately, it isn't str...

In an Ideal World, How Much Would We Spend on Health Care? – Part 1
BY BEN WHEATLEY We have heard it said before, and it is no longer shocking to say, that in 2021 the United States spent $4.3 trillion on health care. To put this gaudy number in some perspective, we measure it as a share of our economy and report that health care comprised 18.3% of our gross domestic product. CMS projects that health care will approach 20% of GDP in coming years—one-fifth of everything we buy and sell in this country.  In a recent report, the Health Affairs Council on Health Care Spending and Value said that “it is unclear what percentage of GDP would represent the ideal level to devote to healt...
