In brief: “Anti-ageing” is not a medical endpoint. It is more useful to distinguish skin ageing, disease risk and functional health.
What works most reliably?
| Area | Measure |
|---|---|
| Skin | UV protection, not smoking |
| Muscles | Strength training, adequate protein |
| Cardiovascular health | Movement, blood pressure, no smoking |
| Brain | Sleep, activity, social factors |
Supplements are not a replacement
Some supplements may be useful when there is a deficiency, but they do not replace established risk-reduction measures.
