In rhesus monkey studies, calorie restriction benefited older monkeys but not younger ones, contrasting with mouse studies where beginning calorie restriction at a young age produced the best results.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by NIA and peer-reviewed Nature Communications study on rhesus macaque calorie restriction, corroborated by multiple independent sources including primary research. [cascade flags: aggregator_dropped_primary_exists,wikipedia_dropped_other_sources_exist | tier=silver indep_score=1.0 clusters=2 claim_tier=notable] [llm_rejected_corroborator url=https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms14063] rejected by auto_resolver_v1_8 run=13071dc8: The page states that adult-onset CR benefited rhesus monkeys and juvenile-onset CR did not improve survival, but it reports no survival difference for old-onset CR and therefore does not support the claim that older monkeys benefited while younger ones did not.
