A daily blend of citrus and grape extracts with chromium normalised blood sugar in people with prediabetes within six months during a recent study, outperforming diet alone. The six-month clinical trial found that a supplement containing citrus and red grape extracts, chromium and hesperidin helped people with impaired fasting glucose – a prediabetic condition – [...]
Walking as few as 3,000 steps a day could slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease in at-risk older adults, delaying cognitive decline by up to seven years, new researh has found. A 14-year study has found that even modest physical activity appears to protect against the brain changes and decline linked to the condition. Researchers [...]
A lack of free time could be raising dementia risk, with researchers calling for action on ‘temporal inequity’ to protect brain health. A new perspective article from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia argues that ‘time poverty’ – not having enough discretionary time – may limit people’s ability to prevent dementia, particularly [...]
A new experimental drug called IC7Fc could help treat both diabetes and heart disease by lowering cholesterol and reducing inflammation in the arteries, researchers have found. In tests on mice prone to cardiovascular disease, the drug significantly reduced blood fats (triglycerides) and cholesterol while slowing the build-up of fatty deposits in arteries that can cause [...]
Tango dancers have brains that appear more than seven years younger than their actual age, with creativity linked to slower brain ageing across all art forms, new research has found. Musicians and visual artists showed brains about five to six years younger, while gamers’ brains appeared around four years younger, according to research examining how [...]
Asian and Black people with long-term health conditions are more likely to underreport anxiety, depression and daily activity difficulties than white populations, new research shows. The findings, based on data from 2.6 million people in England, raise concerns about how health outcomes are measured and how services are designed for diverse communities. Researchers found that [...]
Huimin Zhang of UC Riverside has received a 2025 AFAR Grant for Junior Faculty to study immune ageing, one of six awards this year. The Grants for Junior Faculty programme provides up to US$150,000 to junior faculty for one to two years to support research that will underpin longer-term work on the biology of ageing. [...]
Age Tech World explores the latest business developments in the world of age technology and longevity US$25m fund to reimagine human longevity India-based entrepreneur Deepinder Goyal has announced the launch of Continue Research, supported by a US$25m personal fund dedicated to advancing global longevity science. Continue Research was founded two years ago as an independent [...]
Men must exercise nearly twice as long as women to achieve the same 30 per cent reduction in heart disease risk, according to new research. Women who exercised for 250 minutes a week saw their coronary heart disease risk fall by 30 per cent, while men needed about 530 minutes — nearly nine hours — [...]
Older adults who frequently engage with music may have up to a 39 per cent lower risk of developing dementia, according to new research. Regularly playing an instrument was linked to a 35 per cent reduced risk, while those who both listened to and played music showed a 33 per cent lower risk. The findings [...]
