“A nonlinear Mendelian randomization analysis associated genetically predicted deficiency with higher mortality and found little evidence of added mortality benefit at sufficient concentrations.”

“The relationship between increased diet quality and reduced mortality-related epigenetic age was strongest among participants who did not meet exercise recommendations. Smoking status and age did not significantly alter these statistical relationships.”

“The increase in daily omega-3 intake was also linked to a 13% lower all-cause mortality. This reduced risk mostly applied to food sources (fish) and, to a lesser degree, supplements.”

“The question still remains whether there is an "optimal" running dose... and even if it does exist, it may vary from person to person. Other studies have found that even extremely high levels of running (40 miles per week) have been linked to a 26% lower risk of coronary heart disease when compared to someone that runs "only" 13 miles per week.”

“From the article: > Compared to the reference group, people who were inactive in both 1984-1986 and 2006-2008 had a 2-fold higher likelihood of all-cause death and 2.7-fold greater risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. Those with moderate activity at both time points had 60% and 90% raised risks of all-cause and cardiovascular deaths, respectively, compared to the reference group.”

“It's vital for athletes as it dictates performance limits and indicates cardiorespiratory fitness. Higher VO2 max is linked to reduced mortality and lower risks of chronic diseases. Elite athletes often engage in extensive training, with an 80-20 split between moderate and high-intensity sessions.”

“It does not reproduce every adaptation or replace exercise. Finnish cohorts associated more frequent sauna use with lower cardiovascular mortality, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease risk. A separate prospective cohort associated frequent sauna use with lower stroke risk.”

“People with type 2 diabetes are at an increased risk for cancer potentially due to dysregulated glucose metabolism. A mounting body of evidence suggests that metformin reduces cancer risk and mortality in people with type 2 diabetes.”

“Genetically low plasma vitamin D levels are associated with higher mortality from respiratory infections, and SNPs in the vitamin D receptor that are associated with a higher risk of respiratory tract infections might play a role.”

“This is evident in Hispanic people living in the United States, who often exhibit what is commonly referred to as the "Hispanic mortality paradox," a phenomenon in which their life expectancy is similar to whites, despite having lower income and education levels and reduced access to health care.”
