Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
How to extend human lifespan and health is a challenging question that attracts huge interest from both academia and the industry. Many anti-aging interventions showed clear efficacy on experimental animals, such as c. eligans, drosophila, and mice, without definitive conclusions from human studies. Therefore, there is a clear gap in translating pre-clinical research evidence into humans. Many approaches may promote healthy longevity in older adults; some are being tested in large-scale trials such as the TAME trial, which aims to test whether metformin delays the development or progression of age-related chronic diseases. In our Special Issue, we will focus on dietary factors, physical activity, and healthy lifestyles.
