Plain English Summary

The study measured changes in telomere length and senescent immune cells in healthy older adults receiving HBOT.

Limitations & context: These are blood-cell biomarkers, not proof of reversed aging, longer lifespan, or fewer age-related diseases. There was no untreated randomized control group.

Randomized controlled trial 2024

Physical enhancement of older adults using hyperbaric oxygen: a randomized controlled trial. (opens PubMed in a new tab)

Hadanny A; Sasson E; Copel L; Daniel-Kotovsky M; Yaakobi E; Lang E; Fishlev G; Polak N; Friedman M; Doenyas K; Finci S; Zemel Y; Bechor Y; Efrati S — BMC geriatrics

Plain English Summary

Older adults receiving HBOT improved on measures of exercise capacity and cardiac perfusion compared with controls.

Limitations & context: Physical-performance outcomes do not establish increased lifespan or reversal of aging. Findings require confirmation in broader populations.
