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...

Preventing Genetic Testing Fraud: 5 Actions for Health Plans
The following is a guest article by Erin Rutzler, Vice President of Fraud, Waste, and Abuse at Cotiviti In Delaware, more than 250 Medicare patients underwent unnecessary genetic testing based on telehealth consultations that often lasted less than two minutes—costing Medicare thousands of dollars per patient. Meanwhile, an emerging scheme for fraudulent and unnecessary cardiovascular and cancer genetic testing allegedly resulted in $174 million in false and fraudulent Medicare claims. These are just two examples of what the Healthcare Fraud Prevention Partnership describes as a surge in fraud, waste and abuse associated...

Why poor diets are contributing to a surge in colorectal cancer cases among young people
An alarming trend has emerged in my medical practice in recent years: I’m seeing more and more young adults with colorectal cancer. When I began practicing as a family physician 21 years ago, I never saw patients in their 40s and 50s with the disease, much less ones in their 30s. Now, I diagnose two Read more… Why poor diets are contributing to a surge in colorectal cancer cases among young people originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

In conclusion, oral NR altered the gut microbiota in rats and mice, but not in humans. In addition, NR attenuated body fat mass gain in rats, and increased fat and energy absorption in the HFD context. Glycine Supplementation as a Methionine Restriction Mimetic https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/04/glycine-supplementation-as-a-methionine-restriction-mimetic/ Supplementation with the non-essential amino acid glycine has been shown to modestly slow aging in short-lived laboratory species. In today's open access review paper, researchers note glycine supplementation as essentially a calorie restrictio...

Long Term Exercise in Humans Reduces Markers of Cellular Senescence in Intestinal Tissue
In this study, researchers show that long-term exercise does reduce signs of cellular senescence in this tissue, though this appears to be a matter of reducing the proportion of the study population exhibiting high biomarker values rather than moving the average for everyone. Whether this outcome is similar in other tissues is an open question. While exercise is beneficial, one can't exercise one's way out from under degenerative aging, only somewhat slow its progression. Regular endurance exercise training is an effective intervention for the maintenance of metabolic health and the prevention of many age-associat...

ISFAR Criticizes New Alcohol Guidance Issued by Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction But Fails to Reveal Its Conflicts of Interest with Big Alcohol
Earlier this year, the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction released anew guidance on alcohol use. The guidance was notable for concluding that there is a dose-response relationship between the amount of alcohol one consumes and one ' s risk of disease or injury and therefore, greater amounts of alcohol consumption are associated with poorer health outcomes. In particular, the guidance concluded that drinking no alcohol is safer than drinking a low or moderate amount of alcohol.The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research (ISFAR) has just published a stingingcritique of the new guidance. The critique es...

Learn to earn end-of-life respect
Pele, the famous Brazilian soccer star, reportedly stopped medical treatment for colon cancer. Media outlets stated he was receiving various iterations of comfort, hospice, and palliative care which were perceived as criminal and disrespectful. His daughter denied these allegations on Instagram. How often are those with serious illnesses treated like criminals for wrongdoing? When medical Read more… Learn to earn end-of-life respect originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

In conclusion, p16 deletion or p16 positive cell clearance could be a novel strategy preventing long term HFD-induced skin aging. Association of LDL-Cholesterol with Mortality https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2022/12/association-of-ldl-cholesterol-with-mortality/ Researchers here report on a study of LDL-cholesterol and mortality risk in older people. As they note, data on this topic is conflicted once one moves beyond the matter of cardiovascular disease. Over a lifetime, higher LDL-cholesterol makes it easier to reach the tipping point at which cholesterol deposited in blood vessel walls produces en...

This study explored whether determining the gain or loss of specific taxa represent a more precise metric of healthy/unhealthy aging than summary microbiome statistics, such as diversity and uniqueness. We analyzed microbiome diversity and four measures of microbiome uniqueness in 21,000 gut microbiomes for their relationship with aging and health. We show that diversity and uniqueness measures are not synonymous; uniqueness is not a uniformly desirable feature of the aging microbiome, nor is it an accurate biomarker of healthy aging. Different measures of uniqueness show different associations with diversity and with mark...

mTOR in the Enhancement of Cancer Treatment Outcomes via Calorie Restriction
Calorie restriction, and related approaches such as protein restriction, tend to improve the outcomes for cancer patients, making cancers more vulnerable to therapies by reducing the normally rampant replication of cancer cells. Here, researchers explore the role of mTOR signaling in the mechanisms underlying this effect, finding the link between dietary intake of amino acids and mTOR activity in cell growth. Manipulating these mechanisms isn't enough on its own to deal with cancer, but there is a lot to be said for low cost improvements to the odds of success for patients undertaking any form of cancer therapy. R...

This study used mice to evaluate how their lifestyles - eating fatty foods vs. healthy and exercising vs. not - affected the metabolites of their offspring. Metabolites are substances made or used when the body breaks down food, drugs or chemicals, or its own fat or muscle tissue. "We have previously shown that maternal and paternal exercise improve health of offspring. Tissue and serum metabolites play a fundamental role in the health of an organism, but how parental exercise affects offspring tissue and serum metabolites has not yet been investigated." Researchers used targeted metabolomics - the study of metaboli...
