Neil Charness, Director of the Institute for Successful Longevity, is quoted in an article in MarketWatch about the need to be skeptical of many “longevity” products and how to separate valid data from outlandish claims.

Charness advised MarketWatch readers to look for well-designed studies that include participants randomly assigned to both the experiment group and a control group.

And the size of the study groups is important, he said.

“The larger the sample size, say hundreds rather than dozens of people, the more confident you can be in the findings,” said Charness.
