The Quest for the Secret of Longevity

The Quest for the Secret of Longevity

Our clinic's primary business is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Our treatments include Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Replacement Therapy, Sermorelin Therapy, and several other types of hormone therapies designed to restore healthy hormone levels to our clients.

The loss of hormones as we age is undoubtedly one of the foremost causes of aging. But aging is a complicated puzzle. Currently, there are several studies being conducted to determine precisely what causes aging and what can be done about it. Our clinic stays on the cutting edge of contemporary research, and here is an update on a recent quest for the secret of longevity.

From Ponce de Leon’s futile search for the fountain of youth to alchemists attempting to create elixirs of life and Silicon Valley billionaires pouring huge amounts of cash into longevity research, humans have always been obsessed with an extended lifespan. While life expectancy has been on the rise in the past century, we still haven’t cracked the code of aging, and what can be done to slow it down, stop it completely, and then reverse it.

But that might be about to change.

The American Federation of Aging Research (AFAR) has launched a massive study into some of the world’s oldest people to find exactly how they keep going. The project, named the Super Agers Initiative, plans to collect DNA via saliva samples from 10,000 participants in the U.S. aged 95 years old or older, as well as their detailed health history information and that of their children. When finished, it would be the most significant, comprehensive longevity study in history.

The aim of the research is to uncover the volunteer's genetic data to determine if there is a genetic reason for their longevity and continued ability to stay healthy, both physically and mentally, well into their 80s, 90s, and even their 100s.

“The ultimate goal is to expand the number of super-agers in research,” stated Sofiya Milman, lead investigator of the study and director of human longevity studies at Einstein’s Institute for Aging Research in New York, “We really need a large cohort of super-agers if we’re going to unravel the genetic contributions to exceptional longevity.”

In addition to their DNA, participants will also provide detailed information about their personal and family health history, including disease, activity levels, and any prescriptions they take or have taken. This data will be fed into a biobank, which Milman said future researchers could use for their own research.

Milman noted that only one in 6,000 people in the U.S. are 95 years old or older. This makes an ideal marker for people with unusual longevity who are also alive and can participate in the study. The researchers are hopeful that by examining that specific age group, they might pinpoint particular biomarkers that allow them to live so long.

Specifically, Milman believes that a genetic marker linked with the growth hormone pathway, which controls the body's metabolism and growth, could be responsible for extended longevity.

“Multiple studies over decades have shown that if organisms have reductions in the signal through the growth hormone pathway—so they either have less growth hormones or less growth hormone signaling—they demonstrate extensions in lifespan,” Milman explained.

This could then lead to the development of therapeutics that help the rest of us live long lives too. For example, we could have a drug that reduces the signals that go through the growth hormone pathway, allowing those of us born without the genetic marker to live long.

Past research has suggested that specific genetic biomarkers can indicate whether or not a person lives a long life. One Boston University study concluded that only 150 biomarkers could determine whether or not a person lives to the age of 100 (barring accidents). Another 2021 study published in the journal Nature estimated that humans could live an incredible 150 years under the right conditions.

Now, with this SuperAgers study, scientists could uncover even more about how and why certain people live exceptionally long lives – and how the rest of us could also benefit.
