Are dietary carbohydrates the key to a long, healthy life? Determining the impact of dietary carbohydrate composition on lifespan and late-life health.

与老年有关的疾病负担是一项重大的健康挑战，营养对老龄化的影响是众所周知的。最近的研究表明，碳水化合物含量高、蛋白质含量低的饮食可以延长寿命，改善新陈代谢健康。该项目的目的是确定这些优势是否取决于所消费的碳水化合物的类型。这项研究将揭示导致更长寿和更健康的饮食的组成。

The disease burden associated with old age constitutes a major health challenge and the impact of nutrition on ageing is well established. It has recently been shown that a diet high in carbohydrates and low in proteins leads to increased lifespan and improved metabolic health. The aim of this project is to determine if these advantages are dependent on the type of carbohydrates consumed. This study will reveal the composition of diets that lead to longer and healthier life.
