Biomarker explainers, longevity research and product updates — in one feed.
A lipid panel has several lines, but the decision is built around one. Where LDL's privileged position comes from, what levels it is lowered to, what lowers it — and where the evidence stops.
The difference between a biological age estimate and the calendar is not a subtraction but a regression residual. What is known about the gap, in whom it was shown, and what it does not say.
Epigenetic clocks, composite scores from clinical labs, functional tests and consumer kits count different things — which is why they give different numbers for the same person. What each method measures, where the disagreement comes from, and what follows from it.
The dynamometer sits inside the sarcopenia definition, the frailty phenotype and preoperative assessment. What is actually measured there, why cut-offs do not transfer between devices and countries — and why the association between weak grip and worse outcomes does not make grip a target.
On 26 August the FDA approved the first drug in the class of broad RAS(ON) inhibitors, for metastatic pancreatic cancer. Median overall survival rose from 6.7 to 13.2 months. We go through the figures from primary sources, name the toxicity alongside the effect, and include the criticism — including the criticism the investigators raised themselves.
The Lonevi summary is not a diagnosis and not a replacement for a doctor. Where the line runs, and how to use it.
How to hand a doctor your data in the ten seconds an appointment allows, and why the link stops working on its own.
Lonevi now has a place where we explain what changed in the product and what is worth knowing about it. One post a week.
What the personal health record is built from, why it wants your documents, and why a summary without them stays generic.
Who can see your record, what survives account deletion, and why the link you give a doctor expires.
There are many estimates of biological age and they disagree with each other. What to do about it, and what to watch instead.
A red-blood-cell measure of EPA+DHA that tracks with all-cause mortality — and responds to what you eat.
