Nutritional Strategies for Targeting Biological Age.

Clinical trials support dietary approaches—from Mediterranean eating to caloric restriction—as accessible ways to potentially slow biological aging.

This Annual Review of Nutrition synthesis reviews clinical trial evidence for nutritional strategies—including caloric restriction, Mediterranean diet, and intermittent fasting—on biological age as measured by omics-based composite clocks. The evidence base supports dietary interventions as accessible tools for healthspan extension.
