These over-50 champs—and a growing body of research—show what we gain by staying active later in life. Nora Langdon, 82, started powerlifting in her 60s and quickly got hooked. Over the past two ...

Scientists are reporting the first compelling evidence in people that cognitive training can boost levels of a brain chemical that typically declines with age. A 10-week study of people 65 or older ...

In 2020, the Dog Aging Project began enrolling tens of thousands of companion dogs in the United States in a long-term longitudinal study of normative aging. The goal of the Dog Aging Project is to ...

A new study shows that cognitive training can increase the levels of a key chemical messenger in the brain responsible for decision-making. Scientists have produced the first compelling evidence that ...

Scientists have produced the first compelling evidence that mental exercise can cause biological changes in a human brain. NPR's Jon Hamilton reports on a new study showing that intensive cognitive ...

These findings position henagliflozin at the intersection of diabetes care and longevity science. They are raising both optimism and debate over whether existing medications might also serve as ...

It's never too late to start working on your brain health. That's according to a new study that looks at factors that affect your aging brain. One thing was clear, though: The more regularly you ...

Aging is inevitable, but how fast your cells age isn't set in stone. On a molecular level, biological age is measured using something called the epigenetic clock, which isn't tied to chronological age ...

A new study published in the journal Aging suggests that regular exercise and reduced sedentary behavior may reverse epigenetic aging. The study was a perspective review focused on previous research ...

Many studies suggest that planned, structured exercise, rather than casual activity, may slow epigenetic aging — changes in DNA that reflect biological rather than chronological age. Experiments in ...
