“This was the case for ground, instant and decaffeinated coffee. In a study including almost 450,000 adults, drinking 2-3 cups of ground coffee per day was linked to a 27% lower all-cause mortality - in other words dying from all non-accidental causes.”

“They found that exposure to urban air pollutants increased risk of poor outcome in COVID-19 in a dose-dependent manner. For every 4.6 parts per billion increase of nitrogen dioxide in the air, the case-fatality rate increased more than 11 percent and the mortality rate increased more than 16 percent.”

“An overnight fast of at least 13 hours has been associated with a decrease in breast cancer recurrence and mortality among women, regardless of what the women ate. Constraining when one eats is an approach that can promote a sense of self-efficacy, which can lead to incorporating other healthy lifestyle behaviors such as walking.”

“Brief vigorous activity can add another training signal. In more than 25,000 adults who reported no leisure-time exercise, several one- to two-minute vigorous lifestyle bouts per day were associated with lower all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality during follow-up.”

“I've talked previously about what I've referred to as the sweet spot: 40-60 ng/ml. Some studies have shown that the lowest all-cause mortality happens in that range. The upper range may be important because vitamin D can be toxic at very ranges.”

“It is generally well known that men have an overall shorter life expectancy compared to women. A recent study shows a correlation between a loss of the Y chromosome in blood cells and both a shorter life span and higher mortality from cancer in other organs.”

“Zinc, copper, and magnesium and risks for all-cause, cancer, and cardiovascular mortality - Men with the highest magnesium levels had a 40% lower all-cause mortality and a 50% decrease in cancer deaths compared to those with the lowest magnesium levels.”

“Colonoscopy can detect and remove polyps but carries preparation, sedation, bleeding, and perforation risks. An invitation-to-screen trial reduced colorectal-cancer incidence but did not show a statistically significant mortality reduction at ten years.”

“They are additions to sleep, nutrition, resistance training, and daily movement, not replacements. Finnish cohorts associated frequent sauna use with lower cardiovascular and all-cause mortality and lower dementia incidence.”

“The findings are observational, so they show associations rather than proving cause and effect. A higher DunedinPACE score may identify people at greater mortality risk, but this study cannot tell whether changing that score would affect how long someone lives.”
