Physical resilience after a diagnosis of cardiovascular disease among offspring of long-lived siblings

This study suggested that offsp ring of long-lived siblings not only show lower CVD incidence but also a better survival following CVD diagnosis compared to matched population controls. The higher biological resilience appears to be a universal hallmark of longevity-enriched families, which makes them uniquely positioned for study ing healthy aging and longevity mechanisms.
