Medical disclaimer
Please read this before acting on anything you find here.
This is education, not advice
Longevity Record summarises published research. It does not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or provide medical advice, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified clinician who knows your history.
Nothing here should be used to start, stop or change any medicine or treatment. Decisions about prescription medicines in particular are for you and your doctor.
Urgent symptoms
If you have symptoms that worry you, contact a clinician. In the UK, call 111 for urgent advice, or 999 for an emergency. Do not wait for a reply to a comment or post on this site — we are not a clinical service and cannot respond to individual medical situations.
Supplements
Food supplements are not medicines and cannot lawfully be presented as preventing, treating or curing disease. We describe what studies measured; we do not make treatment claims. Supplements can interact with prescription medicines — check with a pharmacist or doctor.
Calculators
Our calculators implement published population models. They cannot diagnose a condition and cannot predict how long you will live. Any result that concerns you should be discussed with a clinician.
