Abstract

Researka accepted publication: edeb045d-18ed-49dc-95b6-57f76783ce2b Source submission: d543e694-353e-47e3-b185-a9ea713a21b1 This synthesis tests the thesis that evidence for ARBs longevity is context-dependent, separating outcome-specific signals from broader claims and identifying the evidence gaps that should bound interpretation. This paper synthesizes arbs longevity as an aging-related intervention across 71 included source papers and 4116 high-confidence extracted claims. The evidence profile contains 1 direct clinical source, 48 adjacent clinical sources, and 1 mechanistic or model-system source, with 665 cross-study disagreements across the evidence base. Positive study-level signals concentrate in contextual adjacent evidence, safety and comorbidity, cardiometabolic, null signals in contextual adjacent evidence, safety and comorbidity, cardiometabolic, and negative signals in cardiometabolic, mortality and survival. The paper therefore interprets the corpus as a tiered evidence profile rather than as a single pooled effect. The conclusion is that arbs longevity remains a bounded geroscience case: mechanistic plausibility and selected clinical signals justify further targeted testing, while mixed and null findings limit any unqualified anti-aging claim. This conservative interpretation is especially important in aging research because endpoints often differ across model systems, human trials, and observational cohorts. A signal in one domain does not automatically establish the same signal in
