Independent (UK) featured research by Jung Ki Kim and Eileen Crimmins that detailed how older adults vaccinated against shingles showed lower levels of inflammation and other signs of slower biological aging. “By helping to reduce this background inflammation — possibly by preventing reactivation of the virus that causes shingles, the vaccine may play a role in supporting healthier ageing,” Kim said. “While the exact biological mechanisms remain to be understood, the potential for vaccination to reduce inflammation makes it a promising addition to broader strategies aimed at promoting resilience and slowing age-related decline.” The widely covered study was also featured in Inside Precision Medicine, Discover Magazine, U.S. News & World Report, People, Everyday Health, and more.

Mirror interviewed Valter Longo about longevity and the fasting-mimicking diet. The story also ran on MSN worldwide.
