CLAIM CARD
Evidence was extracted, harmonized, and audited through an AI-assisted structured synthesis protocol with explicit source-level traceability, identifying 260 non-orthogonal tension pairs across outcome classes. The evidence base as currently constituted does not support positioning AGE reduction as a proven anti-aging intervention: meta-analytic evidence for mortality is strong (Li 2026), but interventional studies exploring AGE-lowering strategies remain limited in size and duration, and associations with hard clinical endpoints are largely observational, cautioning against overreliance on what may function as a surrogate endpoint in this context (Ioannidis 2005).
