Grip Strength and Flexibility as Mortality Predictors: Meta-Analysis Reveals Dramatic Survival Advantages

TL;DR: A meta-analysis shows that both grip strength and whole-body flexibility are independently associated with reduced all-cause mortality risk. Higher flexibility scores were linked to significantly better survival rates in both men and women, even after adjusting for various health factors, though causation hasn’t been established. Key Statistical Findings Methodology Limitations The study suggests flexibility […]

Long-Term Sardine Consumption and Gender-Equalized Longevity: 10-Year Results from a Portuguese Cohort Study

Summary of Key Findings This paper reports on a 20-year study examining whether regular sardine consumption affects longevity and reduces gender gaps in life expectancy. The study tracked 400 participants (200 Portuguese and 200 Portuguese-Canadians) who consumed sardines every other day for 10 years.

Spermidine Intake Reduces Mortality Risk by 24% in 20-Year Human Study: Dietary Polyamine Shows Anti-Aging Effects Equivalent to Being 5.7 Years Younger

Main Findings This prospective study provides the first evidence that higher dietary spermidine intake significantly reduces all-cause mortality in humans. The research demonstrates a strong dose-response relationship, with participants in the highest tertile of spermidine consumption showing mortality risks equivalent to being 5.7 years younger.
