Calorie-restriction treatment mitigates the aging in rat liver model
The aging process promotes progressive impairment of homeostasis and the increase of the risk of disease and death. A major hallmark of the aging process is the systemic chronic inflammation which strongly contributes to the onset of aging-related diseases. In the liver, the aging condition drives the hepatocytes to develop a metabolic dysfunction-associated steatosis. Caloric restriction (CR) is a remarkable strategy to delay biological aging, occurring through several mechanisms. In this study...
Urban health inequities and healthy longevity: traditional and emerging risk factors across the cities and policy implications
Urbanization is reshaping global health, with over 55% of the world's population residing in urban areas, a figure projected to reach 68% by 2050. This demographic shift presents significant challenges and opportunities for public health, as urban environments exacerbate health disparities rooted in social determinants of health, such as economic stability, education, neighborhood conditions, and access to healthcare. Rapid urban growth, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, has led...
