What is the Longevity Research Library?

The Longevity China Research Library curates recent peer-reviewed studies on longevity, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and supplements. Each study is rated by evidence strength: Strong, Moderate, or Preliminary.

How are evidence levels determined?

Evidence levels are based on study type (meta-analysis, RCT, cohort study), sample size, journal impact factor, and reproducibility of findings.
