a different take: the shingles vaccine lowers dementia and all cause mortality and it’s targeted to a specific virus, not the process of aging so far the data say the score is shingles vaccine 1, geroscience hypothesis 0 and I could say the...
Weight loss drugs may increase human longevity but that's because they reduce the mortality of folks at the lower end of the lifespan distribution (i.e., unhealthy individuals), not because they delay the aging process. That's still valuable, but if this is...
