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已得到公认。最近的研究表明，高碳水化合物和低蛋白质的饮食可以延长寿命并改善代谢健康。该项目的目的是确定这些优势是否取决于所消耗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.
