People often ask if it is better to start Rapamycin and anti aging drugs early in life or wait until being old to “not break young, healthy organism” - here is data from NIA ITP from mice
- First test was started at 9 months of age (mice started at 37.6% of their lifespan) and second was at 16 months old (66.8% of their lifespan)
- Difference between median lifespan extension was 37% vs 14% (2.6x higher)
- We don’t know how it will work in humans, but data in mice shows that: the earlier start, the more benefits
- Mice that would die early have more benefits for starting early, long-lived mice still get most of the benefits when starting late
Here is data from male mice from NIA ITP:
