“In another study, the authors also looked at Medicare recipients and air pollution exposure risks and found that lifestyle factors such as smoking, BMI, and many other potential confounders did not change the data.”

“This study shows that exercise that promotes muscular strength may be important for longevity. Other studies have shown that muscle mass is positively correlated with a longer lifespan. As with all observational studies, causality cannot be established. However, adjustments were made to reduce the influence of other factors such as age, sex, health status, lifestyle behaviors and education level.”

“The participants who consumed the most fiber were 37 percent less likely to die from all causes of premature death than those who consumed the least, even when considering age, sex, body mass index, smoking, exercise, hypertension, diabetes, and abnormal blood lipids.”

“Low brain serotonin during development has also been linked to autism. It is unclear what maternal vitamin D levels are optimal but I like to shoot for levels between 40-60 ng/ml based on all-cause mortality studies. Levels above 30 ng/ml are considered sufficient.”

“A pooled analysis of 17 prospective cohorts associated higher circulating long-chain omega-3 levels with lower total mortality, but it does not prove that raising an individual’s index causes added years of life or offsets smoking.”

“A separate analysis of more than 10 million participants found favorable mortality associations for both forms, suggesting that coffee's polyphenols and other compounds may contribute alongside caffeine. Randomized trials also provide a closer look at short-term biological effects.”

“Observational studies associate higher red-cell omega-3 levels with lower cardiovascular and all-cause mortality risk. Omega-3 trial results depend on the formulation, dose, and population. VITAL tested one gram per day of marine omega-3 in generally healthy adults.”

“In the Framingham Offspring cohort, a higher fatty-acid profile that included the Omega-3 Index was associated with lower mortality, with the modeled difference translating to roughly five years of life expectancy.”
