How we write our summaries

We explain science honestly, without hype.

How we choose studies

• Published in scientific journals.
• Relevant to people aged 50 and over.
• We say clearly when a study is observational and does not prove cause.

How we write

• Each article covers what the study found, what it means in practice, and its limitations.
• Every article links to the original source.
• We do not add numbers that are not in the study.
• We label the study type: clinical trial, observational study, natural experiment, intervention study or secondary analysis.

Images

Article images are illustrative, AI-generated, and do not show study participants. This is stated on each article.
