Circulating IGF-1 concentrations are not associated with all-cause, cardiovascular disease, or cancer-related mortality risk.
There is no evidence from this study that your natural IGF-1 levels predict your risk of death from cancer, heart disease, or other causes. You do not need to try to manipulate IGF-1 levels for longevity based on this data.
We found no association between concentrations of IGF-1... for all-cause mortality... CVD mortality... or cancer mortality.
Why this rating
Sub-sample analysis (N=5753) with sufficient mortality events, but observational nature limits causal inference.
