Metabolic measurement plays a critical role in aging research as the community seeks to understand the healthspan and lifespan trade-offs of the aging process. Recent integrated research from model animals to humans has applied indirect calorimetry to further understand the relationship of cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and diabetes to senescence. From such a research platform we can better consider which interventions can effectively mitigate age related disease.
