OxfordLongevityProject
@OxLongevity
A non-profit organisation making the latest research in longevity, and best practice from longevity communities, accessible to all.
🧬 New @ScienceAdvances study: Scientists benchmarked 17 machine learning methods on blood metabolites from 225,000 people to predict biological age. 'MileAge' clock predicts within 5.3 years, higher readings linked to health risks. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
🍷 Why stick with Dry Jan? A study finds alcohol speeds up epigenetic ageing- damaging DNA, brain, and body. Quitting slowed ageing, improved inflammation, and reduced stress. t’s not just detox—it's a chance to rethink, could Dry Jan become Dry 2025? tinyurl.com/4kzz23aj

🧬 Launching today: Monthly deep-dives into the science of ageing! First up: Meet the 12 'Hallmarks of Ageing' - the cellular processes that drive how we age. From DNA damage to cellular 'zombies', we're making the science accessible. Visit: oxfordlongevityproject.org/insights
Leslie spoke at #SwissLongevityDay2025 in Zurich, sharing insights on healthy ageing. From BHRT & gut health to muscle health & preventive care, the event was full of groundbreaking discussions. Don’t miss Leslie’s TEDxOxford talk on Feb 2! tickets.tedxoxford.co.uk #longevity
🤗 Science backs hugging! Research shows more daily hugs = lower stress hormones (cortisol). A great excuse to hug your loved ones today on #NationalHugDay! Study: Romney et al found more hugging significantly reduces the body's stress response. tinyurl.com/5jbustxf
In his @congresofuturo speech this weekend, OLP Co-founder Prof Denis Noble, 88, challenged the foundations of genetic reductionism and highlighted the role of cell membranes and holistic systems as keys to understanding life. More about Denis here: tinyurl.com/4bv95zuw
SCIENCE SPOTLIGHT: Did you know that calorie restriction promotes longevity? But, how it works on a cellular level is still not clear. New research by Qu et al determines a key player in the pathway: a metabolite called Lithocholic Acid (LCA). Read more: tinyurl.com/dhac6zwy

In one of the first studies of its kind, researchers used GIS + machine learning to analyze environmental patterns in regions with higher centenarian populations. Findings link longevity to elevation, terrain type, soil composition, and clean water. 🔗 tinyurl.com/5t3pp2zf
