VO2 Max vs. HRV: Why Cardiorespiratory Fitness Is the Superior Longevity Metric
VO2 max is a direct, causally-linked predictor of all-cause mortality (an 80% risk difference between fitness extremes, JAMA Network Open 2018), while HRV is a heritable, confounder-sensitive autonomic proxy with a smaller and less consistent link to cardiovascular events (Europace 2013 meta-analysis). This Bio Precision Aging brief compares the evidence and gives a precision testing and training protocol for both.

What the Sunscreen Scares Actually Found
Sunscreen is one of the few products in your bathroom with randomized-trial evidence that it prevents cancer. It's also the target of a steady stream of alarming headlines. Both things deserve a closer look. Sunscreen occupies an unusual place in health. Very few consumer products have been tested in a randomized controlled trial and shown to prevent cancer in humans. Sunscreen has. Yet over the past few years it has been battered by headlines about chemicals seeping into the

The Muscle Myth: Why Strength, Not Size, Predicts How Long You’ll Live*The longevity advice is to “build muscle.” The research says something more precise—and it changes how you should train.
The longevity advice is to “build muscle.” The research says something more precise—and it changes how you should train. In the late 1990s, researchers recruited roughly 3,000 older adults in Pittsburgh and Memphis and tracked them for years, measuring nearly everything: how much muscle each person carried, how strong they were, how their bodies changed with age. The expectation was straightforward. More muscle should mean a longer life. That isn’t what they found. When the H
