Diet + exercise
3 papers4 findings
Reviews describe improved muscle strength in frail or prefrail older adults, reduced BMI and weight in adults with overweight or obesity, and fewer major adverse cardiovascular events with diet plus exercise. Human evidence spans three independent labs without same-outcome replication or opposing findings; the Indian Council of Medical Research funds two findings.
