A recent review article in Nutrients summarizes the potential impact of vitamin D (VitD) on aging processes and age-related diseases. While there is evidence suggesting that VitD may influence genomic stability, cellular senescence, inflammation, and other hallmarks of aging, further research is needed to fully understand its clinical implications and potential therapies for promoting healthy aging.
Scientists are delving into the biological causes of aging, aiming to understand and potentially slow or stop its visible signs and age-related diseases. The hallmarks of aging, which encompass general cellular wear and tear and the body's declining ability to remove old or dysfunctional cells and proteins, are being studied in animals and gradually in humans. While consumers spend billions on anti-aging treatments, researchers are working to offer tools that address the underlying mechanisms of aging, with the hope of extending healthy lifespan.
