This review evaluates rapamycin's effect on aging in healthy adults, highlighting the need for larger cohort studies and further assessment.
Low dose rapamycin therapy has been proposed as a longevity candidate in healthy aging adults. We present a review of the evidence for low dose rapamycin and rapalog therapies in healthy human adults and model the findings of one cohort study using the PhenoAge model. Despite the preclinical evidence supporting the use of sirolimus to enhance mean and maximal lifespan, the data in humans have yet to establish that rapamycin, or its analogues, is a proven seno-therapeutic that can delay aging in healthy older adults. Rapamycin and rapalogs warrant further study with larger cohorts to better establish their contribution to human aging.
