This book focuses on the three most important aspects of ageing
research: nutrition, physical exercise and epigenetics. The
contributors discuss ways that age-related epigenetic imprints such
as DNA methylation and histone acetylation are modified by these
two interventions. The emphasis on epigenetics helps to illuminate
the underlying mechanisms of anti-ageing interventions, as ageing
and disease are predominately epigenetic phenomena. Among the
highlights are chapter-length discussion of such topics as: how
anti-inflammatory action of calorie restriction underlies the
retardation of ageing and age-related diseases (Chapter 3);
epigenetic modification of gene expression by exercise (Chapter 5);
the role of functional foods and their bioactive components in bone
health (Chapter 8); and an account of the first decade of a study
of calorie restriction in nonhuman primates, conducted by the
National Institute on Ageing.
