Caloric Restriction in Humans Mitigates Disease Risk
There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that CR may reduce disease risk factors, which may have a direct influence on healthspan (and indirectly increase lifespan). Several observational studies have tracked the effects of CR on lean, healthy individuals, and have demonstrated that moderate CR (22-30% decreases in caloric intake from normal levels) improves heart function, reduces markers of inflammation (C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)), reduces risk factors for cardiovascular disease (elevated LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure) and reduces diabetes risk factors (fasting blood glucose and insulin levels).
