Many stem cells are lost along with their regenerate abilities with age. Researchers at the Buck Institute have discovered that a nutrient sensing pathway called TOR is central to the aging process and drives the loss of adult stem cells. TOR-inhibiting rapamycin is suggested to be able to prevent this loss and potentially be able to reverse age related loss of stem cells, as published in Cell Stem Cell.

The risk rises with age, women 75-84 are at 3 times the risk as compared to women 65-74 years of age. Going on walks 2-3 times per week for at least 40 minutes or longer can help protect against heart failure, and is associated with close to a 25% drop among post menopausal women, appearing to be consistent regardless of weight or if participating in any other physical activity.
