Statins Effect of statins on all-cause mortality in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/11/19/... General A recent paper from the Interventions Testing Program (ITP), with an overview of its successes so far: ‘Six compounds have thus far produced significant extension of life span in ITP studies in 1 or both sexes: rapamycin, 17α-estradiol (17aE2), nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), Protandim, glycine, and acarbose.’ (This paper adds Canagliflozin to the list.) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... Calculations for risk of diseases with age can be found at https://github.com/ajsteele/ageless Oh and btw, I’m British so I normally spell it ‘ageing’ just in case anyone’s searching for ‘anti-ageing’. Some people call this field of science biogerontology, geroscience or longevity research. Credits Stent animation CC-BY BVM Medical https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...
