In 2014, for example, according to data in the article, stem cell researchers between 35 and 39 were successful more
often than any other age group, winning grants 21.6 % of the time, as compared to success rates ranging from 18.3 % for those between 40 and 44 to 13.4 % for those in the 55 to 59 age group.
Professor Thangaratinam added: «
Often with interventions like these, certain
groups benefit more
than others, but we've shown that diet and physical activity has a beneficial effect across all
groups, irrespective of your body mass index (BMI),
age or ethnicity; so these interventions have the potential to benefit a huge number of people.»
