A recent important study published in Nature Medicine examines the impact of long-term adherence to various dietary patterns on healthy aging.

Utilizing data from the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study – over 100K people in their early fifties followed for 30 years – in the end, only 23% of them were free of 11 chronic diseases!

I felt the need to thoroughly read — and comment on — the rightly hyped recent publication in Nature Medicine:

Tessier, AJ., Wang, F., Korat, A.A. et al.
Optimal dietary patterns for healthy ageing
doi.org/10.1038/s41591-025-035

It’s a remarkable study with some unexpected results — especially the relative importance of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) via the MUFA:SFA ratio, and yes, the positive performance of wine. But let’s not get into that here 😉

This study certainly doesn’t offer the holy grail for healthy ageing, nor a clear guide on what (or how much) to eat.
Any attempt to treat it that way is, in my view, misleading.

What it does show are dietary patterns that correlate with better ageing outcomes — not prescriptive rules.

In fact, many of the foods with log(OR) ≥ 0 are low in calories and would not sustain daily energy needs on their own. That’s precisely the point.

Certain foods — even in small quantities — can have disproportionate biological impact.
This supports the view that dietary quality is more relevant than quantity in promoting healthy ageing.

And importantly, the fact that many of these protective foods are not modern dietary staples opens the door for nutritional interventions — including targeted supplementation — to deliver the benefits of these patterns in a more accessible form.
