I declare no relationship or whatever connection with Gero company. I just guessed it might be somehow interesting to us for being the first survey on the self-experimentation audience I have ever come across. Moderators please delete it if against forum's rules. Thanks.
Gero (a russian data-driven longevity company that employs physics to reverse engineer biology) is running a short study for young or middle-aged people to find out the relationship between certain interventions and the risks of developing an age-related disease.
"Many of us use supplements or meds for life extension or self-enhancement. However, clinical studies on potential anti-aging therapies are usually performed in older people with multiple chronic diseases. We want to understand if the same interventions could help healthy individuals in young or middle age groups.
This short survey will help us do just that.
The Gero research team has developed a survey-based biological age model using an AI trained using data from the CDC National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) survey. We selected the most significant questions and crafted a biological age model quantifying the risks of chronic diseases and the remaining healthspan based on the simple questionnaire below.
In the NHANES data, the use of supplements was not statistically associated with a reduction of biological age or life extension. This could possibly mean that most of the supplements do not work against aging, compensate the effects of each other or perform differently in different groups. The aim of our study is to see if there is at least one commonly used intervention with a sufficiently strong effect on biological age.
The aim of our study is to see if there is at least one commonly used intervention with a sufficiently strong effect on biological age. Please provide your answers even if you do not take any experimental therapies or supplements. Your input will help to establish the control group.
Remember: the statistical power of this study depends on the number of participants. Make sure to share this survey!"
