Abstract

Abstract The geroscience hypothesis proposes that therapy to slow or reverse molecular changes that occur with aging can delay or prevent multiple chronic diseases and extend healthy lifespan 1–3 . Caloric restriction (CR), defined as lessening caloric intake without depriving essential nutrients 4 , results in changes in molecular processes that have been associated with aging, including DNA methylation (DNAm) 5–7 , and is established to increase healthy lifespan in multiple species 8,9 . Here we report the results of a post hoc analysis of the influence of CR on DNAm measures of aging in blood samples from the Comprehensive Assessment of Long-term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy (CALERIE) trial, a…
