Caloric Restriction and Aging in Rhesus Monkeys
Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Our rapidly growing aging population deems interventions that delay or prevent age-associated disease to be of huge public health significance. Caloric restriction (less calories eaten but without a shortage of essential nutrients) opposes a broad array of age-associated health problems in monkeys. This 25-year-long project will establish the impact of CR on lifespan and discover how CR extends healthy aging.
