Re: Now Mice Put on CR at Older Age

[Guest guest]

Hi folks:

There is an ambiguity here. What does the " 42% " relate to? I

haven't seen the study. But 42% more after age 60 ......... that

is, say, living 14.2 more years after age 60 instead of 10.0 more,

(or to age 74.2 for the CR mice instead of 70.0 for those

unrestricted) isn't all that huge. **If** that is what the 42% means.
