Caloric restriction (CR), without malnutrition, delays aging and extends life span in diverse species; however, its effect on resistance to illness and mortality in primates has not been clearly established. We report findings of a 20-year longitudinal adult-onset CR study in rhesus monkeys aimed at filling this critical gap in aging research. In a population of rhesus macaques maintained at the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center, moderate CR lowered the incidence of aging-related deaths. At the time point reported, 50% of control fed animals survived as compared with 80% of the CR animals. Furthermore, CR delayed the onset of age-associated pathologies. Specifically, CR reduced the incidence of diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and brain atrophy. These data demonstrate that CR slows aging in a primate species.
热量限制(CR)在无营养不良的情况下,可延缓多种物种的衰老并延长寿命;然而,其对灵长类动物疾病抵抗力和死亡率的影响尚未明确。我们报告了一项针对恒河猴进行的为期20年的成年起病热量限制纵向研究结果,旨在填补衰老研究中的这一关键空白。在威斯康星国家灵长类动物研究中心饲养的一群恒河猴中,适度的热量限制降低了与衰老相关的死亡发生率。在报告的时间点,对照喂养的动物有50%存活,而热量限制组动物的存活率为80%。此外,热量限制延缓了与年龄相关的病理状况的发生。具体而言,热量限制降低了糖尿病、癌症、心血管疾病和脑萎缩的发生率。这些数据表明,热量限制可减缓灵长类动物的衰老。
