Creator description · original textText language: English
A first-of-its-kind human study suggests that calorie reduction may help slow the pace of biological aging.
Can restricting calories slow biological aging and help healthy adults live longer? A first-of-its-kind trial in humans suggests that it might.
The landmark study, published on February 9 in the journal Nature Aging, found that a two-year intervention that required participants to cut 25 percent of their daily calories slowed the pace of aging by 2 to 3 percent. This translates to a 10 to 15 percent reduction in mortality risk, the researchers say — about the same level of risk reduction as quitting smoking.
“Our findings are important because they provide evidence from a randomized trial that slowing human aging may be possible,” said Calen Ryan, PhD, a research scientist at Columbia University’s Butler Aging Center in New York City and co-lead author of the study, in an email.
Although many people might find this level of caloric restriction too difficult, the study supports the concept that behavioral changes — without any drugs — can have a measurable impact on the pace of aging, Dr. Ryan said.
“This paves the way for future studies of other interventions, such as time-restricted eating or intermittent fasting, which might be more scalable and achievable in a broader sector of the population,” said Ryan.
