The Winter Olympics are in full swing, and the spotlight is on extraordinary athletic performance. But what happens after the Games?⁠
⁠
A large international study of more than 95,000 elite athletes found that sport choice matters—not just for performance, but for longevity. Athletes in disciplines that blend strength, coordination, and aerobic demand were linked to the greatest lifespan extension, in some cases by as much as eight years.⁠
⁠
Top sports for men were pole vaulting and gymnastics, and for women, racquet sports. As the study notes: “The observed results may be attributed to the aerobic and anaerobic characteristics of each sport, with mixed sports yielding the maximum benefits for the lifespan.”⁠

Physical aging starts earlier than you may think. A 47-year longitudinal study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden found that maximal aerobic capacity and muscular endurance peak between ages 26-36, then begin a gradual decline.

Early on, that decline is small—around 0.2–0.5% per year in the mid-30s—but it accelerates with age, reaching ~2% per year in the 50s and onwards, with similar patterns in both women and men.

The good news: Even when people became active later in life, they improved physical performance by 5-10% and slowed the rate of decline.

Movement remains one of the most reliable tools we have to preserve long-term health.

Spaceflight pushes the human body to its limits—and aging, it turns out, is part of the test. ⁠
⁠
In a recent study of astronauts on the Axiom-2 mission, biological age accelerated by nearly 2 years mid-flight, driven in part by shifts in immune cells. ⁠
⁠
But here’s the remarkable part: Once back on Earth, those changes partially reversed, with younger astronauts even showing a lower biological age than before launch. ⁠
⁠
These findings highlight space as a rapid, reversible model for studying human aging—and a glimpse at how interventions might slow or reset aging on Earth.⁠

New research suggests a compound in cocoa—theobromine—is associated with slower biological aging. ⁠
⁠
Using data from two large human cohorts, researchers found that higher circulating levels of theobromine were associated with slower biological aging. The association held across multiple biological age clocks, including GrimAge and DNAm PhenoAge.⁠

While this isn’t an excuse to overindulge in chocolate, it highlights how everyday foods can provide molecular clues to healthier, longer lives.

Alcohol use among younger generations has been declining for years, TIME reports. Healthy living is up, drinking is down—and that shift reflects a broader focus on habits that support long-term health.

At Elysium, we drive longevity science forward with the help of leaders in their field who study how the body changes, adapts, and ages in the real world.⁠
⁠
That’s why our Scientific Advisory Board includes pioneers like Michael Fredericson, M.D.—Professor and Director of PM&R Sports Medicine at Stanford University and Co-Director of the Stanford Center on Longevity. For decades, his work has focused on injury prevention, performance, and helping people stay resilient over time.⁠
⁠
With more than 240 peer-reviewed articles, Dr. Fredericson brings deep expertise to movement, mobility, and longevity—helping guide our scientific direction alongside a network of world-class researchers and clinicians.
