You don’t have to live in a special “blue zone” to be live longer.
A major US study links air pollution to Alzheimer’s risk in older adults. With fine particles far exceeding safe limits globally, the findings carry urgent implications.
Your 40s can feel more exhausting than your 60s. The reason isn’t inevitable decline, but a clash between biology and peak life demand.
New research estimates genetic heritability of lifespan at 50% – double previous estimates.
Why genetic influence on lifespan appears to have doubled.
A study links plant-based diets to lower odds of reaching 100 – but the result depends on age, weight and how plant-based diets are followed.
A Brazilian study investigated the effects of microdoses of cannabis extract in patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease, and found cognitive decline stalled.
How can we support dogs and cats as they age? Practical advice from veterinary science specialists (nutrition, living arrangements, behaviours to watch out for, etc.).
Musician, mother, widow: this moving account of an extraordinarily creative life details the highs and lows of walking the earth as a woman.
A study of 86,000 older adults across Europe shows people who speak multiple languages tend to age more slowly than monolinguals.
Understanding your ‘biological age’ can help you live longer.
Vladimir Putin claims organ transplants could make us live to 150. But even healthy organs fail with time – ageing can’t be fixed with spare parts.

Residents with higher incomes and assets will be required to pay for a larger contribution than those on a pension.
Perhaps it’s time we stopped treating midlife as a countdown and started recognising it as a peak.
US researchers have shown that people with more active social lives show slower biological ageing and lower inflammation levels.
Dementia’s effects on the brain can cause death. But they can also lead to other complications, which can then be fatal.
Yoghurts, microbes and a 117-year lifespan: the story of María Branyas Morera’s extraordinary gut.
One big risk is overdiagnosis: the more you test, the more you’ll find. Much of this may be clinically irrelevant, meaning unnecessary follow-ups, costs and anxiety.
