Scientists Found a Blood Signature Linked to 23% Lower Risk of Death
Reported byScienceAlert ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
A study of 14,584 people in Spain and the United States found that a blood signature reflecting Mediterranean-style eating patterns—tracked through 67 metabolites, mostly fat-related molecules—was associated with a 23% lower risk of death during follow-up periods of 13 to 25 years compared to those with the lowest signature scores.
This analysis was observational; it shows an association between the signature and lower mortality risk but cannot prove that raising someone's signature score would extend their life. The blood test is not a lifespan prediction tool.
