Studies have shown that dogs and humans share similar biological markers of aging, opening up new opportunities for longevity research. Habits that promote healthy aging in people are likely beneficial for dogs as well.

Despite the popularity of high-protein foods, research shows that for most sedentary adults, reducing protein intake may actually be more beneficial and contribute to longevity. The optimal amount of protein depends on age and level of physical activity.

A new study has shown that the APOE2 gene variant helps neurons protect DNA and slows down cellular aging, thereby reducing the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. These findings open up new possibilities for therapeutic approaches, especially for people with a high genetic risk.

A study has shown that the parasitic worm Anomotaenia brevis alters gene activity in ants, affecting their behavior and lifespan. Instead of mimicking the host's hormones, the parasite manipulates existing genetic mechanisms that control aging and social activity.

Long-term engagement in various forms of physical activity is associated with increased life expectancy and a reduced risk of death from different causes. The greatest benefits come not only from the amount of exercise, but also from incorporating a variety of activities.

A new study has found that chronic sleep deprivation reduces life expectancy more significantly than unemployment or lack of health insurance, ranking just behind smoking in terms of harm. Insufficient sleep is now recognized as one of the key risk factors affecting public health.
