“Long-lived people eventually develop age-related diseases – just later in life, a phenomenon referred to as “compression of morbidity.” The onset of these diseases is influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, environment, and lifestyle.”

“Vitamin D is crucial for many aspects of infant development. Breast milk contains negligible amounts of vitamin D and is typically considered inadequate to prevent vitamin D deficiency in exclusively breastfed infants.”

“In this clip, Dr. Dale Bredesen talks about strategies for identifying the factors that contribute to one's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and describes strategies for mitigating that risk.”

“Scientists are using artificial intelligence to analyze databases of facial images from people of different ages matched with metabolites in order to develop biomarkers. Other researchers are studying blood markers from people of different ages to create an aging curve.”

“Other vaccines include the AstraZeneca vaccine, which delivers a small piece of DNA encoding the spike protein via an adenoviral vector. Traditional vaccines carrying inactivated viral proteins are also in development.”

“Growth hormone is important during growth and development, playing a role in determining one's stature. It is also beneficial for healthy bones and stimulates collagenous tissue synthesis. Dr. Phillips speculates that growth-hormone stimulated collagen may strengthen tendons that support muscles.”

“Interestingly, most people harbor latent herpes virus infections, and some evidence suggests that reactivation of the latent virus in the brain, particularly in APOE4 carriers, might increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.”

“Toxic stress, which results from prolonged adversity due to physical or emotional abuse, chronic neglect, exposure to violence (especially early in life), and workplace burnout can have long-lasting repercussions on a person's mental and physical health.”

“Mounting evidence suggests that exploiting this property may be useful towards reducing the toxicity of chemotherapeutics while also maximizing their impact in the treatment of cancer.”

“APOE4, one of three common genetic variants of the APOE (apolipoprotein E) gene, is present in approximately 10 to 15 percent of people. Having one or more APOE-4 alleles markedly increases a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.”
