Last week, I wrote about a new study comparing low-carb and high-carb diets for endurance performance. 1 If you want the tl;dr, here it is: After 6 weeks on either a low- or high-carb diet, athletes experienced similar performance outcomes during a time-to-exhaustion test , a result that vindicates low-carb diets once and for all.

In a new study on 144 older men, having a higher cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2 max) and muscle strength, lower levels of body fat, eating a diet higher in carbohydrates and antioxidants, and having a morning chronotype were associated with a slower rate of DNA-based biological aging. A recent study provides us with some novel insight.

The results were consistent with much of the epidemiological evidence we have on the research question, showing a statistically significant increase in the risk of T2DM with higher red meat intake among all three cohorts. Model 3 is nearly identical to model 2, but omits the adjustment for BMI. to 1.12, 1.24 to 1.10, and 1.46

Physical activity (PA), body mass index (BMI), and blood glucose were associated with aTRH (all p-values<0.05), while diet, nicotine exposure, sleep, and blood lipids were not significantly associated with aTRH. Compared to the low LE8 group, the ORs for the high LE8 group were 0.46 (95% CI, 0.28 to 0.76) and 0.07 (95% CI, 0.02

It’s also likely that most people aren’t getting all of the nutrients they need from their diet even if they think they are. The researchers also conducted a meta-analysis using the results of this study and 2 other COSMOS substudies (the results of which I discuss in the next section): COSMOS-Mind and COSMOS-Web.
