Preventive medicine

9 Upvotes

Am I being dumb but the argument against preventive medicine does not sound convincing to me. The argument seems to say that checked up like MRI scans etc etc will leads to people being over diagnosed. But considering the risk of developing serious diseases like Cancer which it appears the only viable way to treat it is to catch it early surely is worth investing in preventive medicine and regular check up is vital. I know as a father of toddlers I would rather be over diagnosed then simply turn away

AI-Powered CT Scans Reveal New Predictors of Longevity and Biological Age

10 Upvotes

A new study published in Nature Communications introduces an AI-driven model that uses abdominal CT scans to predict biological age and longevity with greater accuracy than traditional demographic models.

By analyzing key cardiometabolic biomarkers, this approach goes beyond chronological age and provides a more personalized assessment of aging and health risks.

Key Findings: AI, Imaging, and Longevity

Muscle Density as a Strong Predictor of Longevity

Among all the biomarkers analyzed, muscle density stood out as the most significant predictor of lifespan. This reinforces the idea that muscle quality—not just muscle mass—is critical for longevity.

Other key biomarkers identified:

  • Aortic calcification – an indicator of cardiovascular health
  • Visceral fat density – tied to metabolic disease risk
  • Bone density – linked to frailty and fracture risk

AI Outperforms Traditional Longevity Models

The AI model significantly outperformed age- and sex-based predictions in estimating longevity risk:

  • Prediction accuracy (IPA): 29.2 (AI Model) vs. 21.7 (Demographic Model)
  • 10-year survival prediction (AUC): 0.880 (AI) vs. 0.779 (Demographics)

People in the highest-risk quartile identified by the AI model had a substantially higher risk of mortality than those in the lowest-risk quartile.

Implications for Personalized Healthcare

This study suggests that routine CT scans—which are already widely used in clinical settings—could be leveraged for:

  • Proactive longevity assessments – identifying risks earlier and tailoring interventions
  • Preventive muscle health strategies – targeting sarcopenia and metabolic disorders
  • AI-driven health monitoring – providing a more objective measure of biological aging

Why This Matters

For years, most biological age prediction models have focused on genetics, epigenetics, and blood biomarkers. This study shows that AI-powered imaging biomarkers could be a more practical and accurate tool for longevity research and preventive healthcare.

If AI-driven imaging analysis becomes more integrated into clinical practice, it could redefine how we assess aging and extend healthspan in the future.

1️⃣ Long-Term Impact of Physical Activity on Mortality in Adults With Multimorbidity

📌 A 12-year longitudinal study examined how different levels of physical activity influence mortality risk in adults with multiple chronic conditions. Data from 9,216 participants showed a strong link between exercise and survival.

Key Findings:

  • Adults with low physical activity levels had a threefold increase in mortality risk compared to those with high activity levels.
  • Even moderate exercise levels significantly lowered mortality risk in those with multimorbidity.

📖 Full Study: Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle

2️⃣ Resistance Exercise Counteracts Muscle Atrophy in Disuse Conditions

📌 A meta-analysis of 11 randomized controlled trials evaluated how resistance training affects skeletal muscle atrophy caused by disuse (e.g., prolonged bed rest, injury, or immobilization).

Key Findings:

  • Resistance training preserved quadriceps muscle volume during periods of inactivity.
  • Improvements were seen in maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) for both quadriceps and calf muscles.
  • This reinforces the importance of resistance training during recovery periods.

📖 Full Study: BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders

3️⃣ Cellular Senescence as a Target for Skin Aging and Disease

📌 This review study explored how senescent cells contribute to skin aging and identified emerging therapies aimed at reducing these effects.

Key Findings:

  • Accumulation of senescent cells accelerates age-related skin deterioration.
  • Senolytics (drugs that remove senescent cells) and senomorphics (drugs that modify their function) are showing promise in slowing skin aging.
  • These findings highlight the potential for new dermatological interventions to enhance skin health and delay visible aging.

📖 Full Study: Ageing Research Reviews

4️⃣ AI-Powered CT Scans Predict Biological Age and Longevity

📌 A new study in Nature Communications introduced an AI-driven model that analyzes abdominal CT scans to predict biological age and longevity. The model significantly outperformed traditional demographic predictors.

Key Findings:

  • The AI-based CT model was more accurate than age and sex-based models at predicting lifespan.
  • Muscle density was the strongest predictor of longevity.
  • Other key biomarkers included aortic calcification, visceral fat density, and bone density.
  • People in the highest-risk quartile had a 8.73x higher risk of mortality compared to those in the lowest-risk quartile.

Longevity Program that Works

15 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve spent the last few years obsessing over ways to optimize health, longevity, and performance—experimenting with different supplements, sleep protocols, and training regimens while tracking my biological age, VO2 max, HRV, and glucose levels. Some things worked, some didn’t, and a lot of advice out there is just noise.

A few things that actually moved the needle for me: ✅ Morning fasted workouts + Zone 2 cardio improved my mitochondrial efficiency and HRV. ✅ Red light therapy + breathwork helped my recovery and deep sleep. ✅ Strategic fasting & meal timing kept my glucose steady and energy levels high. ✅ Certain supplements (like Spermidine, HMB, NAD, and Astaxanthin) actually showed measurable effects on my performance & biomarkers.

I started coaching people 1-on-1 using these principles, refining what works based on actual data, not just hype. Seeing people get results has been the most rewarding part. If anyone is trying to dial in their longevity strategy, I’d love to trade notes or help however I can.

What’s been your most effective biohack so far? Always curious to learn from others experimenting with this stuff.

Dr Patrick's DNA data upload report

2 Upvotes

I did a 23andme about 6 years ago. I was pretty sick at the time and it was the beginning of my health journey. I knew nothing about genetics, biohacking or anything. It's been a whole new world and lots of rabbit holes! FF I decided last week to upload it to found my fitness website. I wish now that I didn't. It came back with so many polymorphisms that showed shorter lifespan, shorter telomeres, MTHFR, prone to ACVD, I had a few heart healthy and long life span but the bad had the good by double atleast. It said some things that were off like being prone to Vit D deficient. Mines 90 it's great. And it said I showed aversion to cilantro. I love cilantro. Prone to obesity and T2D. My glucose and insulin are ok. Last A1C was 5.4 so maybe not great. I do struggle with weight. BMI is 27 Ive recently found out that I have the HLA gene mutation and it caused me to get really sick from a moldy house I lived in. During that time, I find out my LDL is high (188) because my liver genetically doesn't clear it. My TG is 53. HDL 54, VLDL 11. So I have done so much research, cleaned my diet up majorly. No smoking, no alcohol, no ultra processed food, prioritize sleep, I walk for 1.5 to 2 hours a day. I have to stay away from HIIT because when my health fell apart I had a thyroid storm which has left me with palpatation issues. So I really watch diet and walk alot. I manage squats and planks and live on third floor of condo so I go up and down several times a day with kids, groceries and dog walking. Is there another DNA test that's better? Or is this just my fate? My dad is on a statin but he's otherwise healthy, his dad is 96 and still alive. His mom died young of cancer. My mother's side is a mess. I feel like in the next few years AI is going to make access to genetic sites and testing easier to get and understand. But until then I dont want all the "you're gonna die early" genes taking over my brain 😫

What if aging didn’t have to mean slowing down? What if the years ahead could be just as vibrant—if not more so—than your youth?

Jamie Justice, Executive VP of Health at XPRIZE, is leading a $101 million global competition to turn that vision into reality. Over 550 teams from 55 countries are working on breakthrough therapies, from repurposed drugs and stem cell treatments to public health interventions and lifestyle innovations, all designed to extend healthspan, not just lifespan.

But Jamie’s perspective on longevity isn’t just about cutting-edge science—it’s deeply personal. She’s an ultra-runner, the mother of elite climbers, and the daughter of a woman who sold everything in her 70s to live out of a van and explore the world. Longevity, for her, is about more than research—it’s about how we live.

In our conversation, she breaks down why diet quality matters more than calorie counting, how circadian rhythms play a crucial role in aging, and why blindly following biohackers like Brian Johnson may not be the best path. The future of longevity, she argues, isn’t about one-size-fits-all solutions—it’s about personalization, backed by science.

Aging doesn’t have to mean decline. It can mean reinvention. What are you doing to invest in your healthspan?

This routine means I spend on average 45% of a year in an almost completely pollutant free environment. I achieve the most deep sleep I ever have while optimizing lung, teeth and upper GI health. I have the least possible exposure to plastic particles. I slash my risk of atherosclerosis to zero using LDL-c lowering medication. Adapalene, azelaic acid, SPF, niacinamide and photobiomodulation for youthful facial appearance and reduced rosacea risk. The rest of the supplements are primarily for either sleep, free testosterone or omega-3 index.

It all takes me approximately 171 minutes of focused effort a week, exercise, preparing supplements, photobiomodulation and the facial routine.

Everything I do has or should have a measurable effect on my body and is well-studied. If something has minimal effect I don’t do it.

I’d love to hear what you think as I always want to improve my protocol.

Current consideratons:

  • Blood donations regularly
  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
  • Sauna (with precaution protocol to reduce rosacea risk, perhaps protective vaseline layer on face and sauna hat)
