Vitamin D May Increase Lifespan

High levels of vitamin D may slow aging and increase life span by preventing age-related decline in telomere length, according to a new study.

Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes that shorten with aging, cell division, and inflammation. When telomeres become too short, the cell can no longer divide, and it becomes senescent or dies. For this reason, scientists seeking to extend lifespan have long been interested in methods to prevent telomere shortening.

Higher vitamin D concentrations, which are easily modifiable through nutritional supplementation, are associated with longer telomere length.
