What is Anti-aging Effects of Nutritional Modification: The State of the Science on Calorie Restriction about?

Aging is considered to be either "primary," that is, the inevitable deterioration of cells and tissues structure and function that occurs independent of disease, lifestyle, and environmental causes, or "secondary," where the decline in tissue structure and function occurs as a result of external infl uences, including diseases [ 52 ]. Attenuation of primary aging results in an increase in maximal lifespan, whereas delays in the progression of age-related disease or secondary aging increase mostly average lifespan. Calorie restriction (CR) has been shown since the 1930s by McCay et al. to retard the aging process [ 1 ], extending the median and maximal lifespan in various models and species [ 2 ].
