Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Experimental evidence involving random assignment of individuals to calorie-restricted and nonrestricted conditions reveals that restricted participants display improved cardiovascular and other health indicators, such as reduced insulin resistance, blood pressure, and inflammation markers. Nonrestricted participants may show a reduction in incidence of death due to cancer, but this is not necessarily related to calorie restriction. Additionally, restricted participants have shown similar health improvements as nonhuman primates.
