An AI tool predicted heart failure risk up to five years before onset with 86 per cent accuracy in 72,000 patients in England, researchers said. The AI tool, developed by a team at the University of Oxford, looks for signs in fat around the heart that show whether it is inflamed and unhealthy. Those signs [...]
Dr Cherry Lo, longevity advisor to supplement brand Manapura shares her thoughts with Agetech World in our on-going “Living Forever” series "When Elon Musk speaks of 'reprogramming,' he is essentially identifying ageing as a solvable engineering issue. He believes we can overcome the fatal biological breakdowns by delivering biological 'OTA updates'. To understand why the ‘system’ eventually [...]
A new study has found that metformin, a widely prescribed diabetes drug, may mimic one of exercise's core biological effects in men with prostate cancer. The findings suggest metformin could help counter the metabolic strain of hormone therapy, when fatigue and other side effects often limit physical activity. Exercise is one of the most reliable [...]
An Alzheimer's pill was linked to slower brain shrinkage and improved cognition over nearly three years in early disease, a new analysis suggests. The benefits seen in people with early Alzheimer's disease after a year of treatment with blarcamesine were sustained over nearly three years, according to new analysis from Anavex Life Sciences. Patients treated [...]
This month Agetech World is running a special 'Live Forever' series focusing on the future. What does healthy lifespan look like, and how long can it last? In part two we hear from Dr Halland Chen, a double board-certified Physician specialising in longevity medicine, cellular health, and biotech innovation. In an interview with Agetech World [...]
Having higher levels of vitamin D in the blood in middle age is associated with lower levels of tau protein in the brain, which is a sign of dementia, years later, according to a recent study. The study does not prove that vitamin D levels lower the level of tau and the risk of dementia; [...]
For knee osteoarthritis, braces, water therapy and exercise were the most effective non-drug treatments in a large analysis. Knee osteoarthritis is a widespread and often disabling condition that affects millions of older adults. It causes ongoing pain and stiffness in the knee joint, making everyday movement more difficult. Many patients rely on anti-inflammatory medicines, but [...]
A new dementia discharge tool has shown promise in helping people leave mental health hospitals more safely, according to researchers. The study found the SAFER-Dem intervention could support safer, more coordinated moves from hospital to community care for people with dementia. Researchers said the approach is patient-centred and aligns care with best practice guidance while [...]
This month Agetech World is focusing on the future. What does healthy lifespan look like, and how long can it last? Our introductory article in this special series looks at the ‘biohacking’ quest to re-engineer ageing - and who it will benefit? Click below to read Agetech World editor Peter McCusker's report now.

A blood test could help spot early cognitive decline years before a standard dementia diagnosis is possible, research suggests. Scientists found that subtle changes in the blood, caused by chemicals produced by gut bacteria, may reveal the earliest signs of cognitive decline long before symptoms become obvious. The findings suggest the link between the gut [...]
