New research identifies one of the first cellular links between healthy fats known as monounsaturated fatty acids and lifespan in lab worms.
A new method using roundworms can help determine which genes are relevant to the aging process, researchers say.
"Air pollution is a huge public health threat, globally. And we don’t really treat it that way," Christa Hasenkopf argues in this podcast episode.
New research finds that turtles in the wild age slowly and have long lifespans, and identifies several species that essentially don't age at all.
Certain food choices add minutes of healthy life, and others do the opposite, say researchers. Here's what they say to eat or avoid.
Lonely older adults live fewer years than non-lonely peers—and they're less active and in poorer health, a new study shows.
More people are living to be 100 years old, but how long will human lifespan reach in the 21st century? Researchers may have some answers.
The average person today can expect to live almost twice as long as people in the 1850. But don't get too excited. There's still no cheating old age.
Gregarious female giraffes that develop a sense of larger community live longer than those with fewer friends, a new study shows.
A metabolite called colanic acid can extend the lifespan of worms as much as 50%. New research uses optogenetics to clarify that discovery.
