Opening the news section
Lonevi now has a place where we explain what changed in the product and what is worth knowing about it. One post a week.
Updates to Lonevi used to ship silently: something appeared in your account, something changed in the rules, and the only way to find out was to notice the difference. The product now has a feed, and we will keep it ourselves.
What we write about
Product — what appeared in your account and how to use it. Not a list of version numbers, but an answer to "what does this mean for me".
Research — what is actually known about healthy lifespan. No promises, no sensations, and no "scientists have proven".
Explainers — how the things on your screen work: where a number comes from, what it means and, more importantly, what it does not mean.
Company — decisions we make in the open: what we do with your data, what we change in the rules and why.
Rhythm
One post a week. Not because there is nothing more to say, but because a feed that arrives on schedule is more useful than one that bursts with ten articles and then goes quiet for a month. The next posts are already queued and will publish on their own.
If your question is not answered here yet, look at the knowledge base: fifteen explainers on biological age, blood pressure, sleep, VO2max and the other markers your summary is built on.
Articles in this section are educational and are not medical advice, a diagnosis, or a prescription. Consult a qualified professional before acting on anything you read here.

ExplainerBiomarkersWhat limits VO2max — lungs, heart or muscles — and how accurate the estimates are
VO2max is often described as a measure of the lungs. In healthy people the ceiling is set mostly by how much oxygen the heart and blood can deliver; the lungs become the limit only in particular situations. What changes with age, and how accurate lab tests, formulas and watches are.

ExplainerSleepMouth breathing during sleep in children: why it is not a habit, and what the treatment evidence shows
An open mouth at night usually means breathing through the nose or throat is harder, but the sign alone does not make a diagnosis. How sleep-disordered breathing in children and teenagers is confirmed, what trials of adenotonsillectomy, medicines, nasal treatment, orthodontics and exercises found, and where evidence is still missing.
