Recent studies on metformin and age-related macular degeneration report conflicting findings: a JAMA Ophthalmology cohort found no association, while studies in Ophthalmology Retina and BMJ Open Ophthalmology found reduced odds of neovascular and intermediate AMD, respectively. All were observational.

Two studies published in Nature Medicine and Military Medical Research link accelerated biological aging in younger generations to rising rates of early-onset cancers. Researchers found that people born in more recent decades show larger gaps between their chronological and biological ages, with stronger risks for lung, gastrointestinal, and uterine cancers. A separate global analysis identified six cancers now rising faster in younger adults than older populations.

Researchers have used a machine learning model called AI-IR to demonstrate that insulin resistance is a risk factor for 12 types of cancer. The tool analyzes nine clinical parameters from standard health checkups to predict insulin resistance at population scale. This provides the first large-scale evidence linking insulin resistance to multiple cancers.
