Bone as a Biomarker of Ageing and Senescence: Connecting Musculoskeletal Health to Longevity via Diet, Nutrition and Exercise.
Review in Biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Advancing age is often accompanied by a gradual decline in musculoskeletal (MSK) health and integrity, making the skeleton not just a structural framework; but a dynamic indicator of biological ageing. Bone tissue undergoes continuous remodelling through tightly regulated interactions among osteocytes, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, progenitor cells or mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) and growth factors. With advancing age, this balance shifts toward increased resorption, increased adipose tissue formation, reduced bone formation, and deterioration of bone microarchitecture. This eventually can lead to frailty, increased fracture risk and other age-related diseases (ARDs) due to ageing, cellular senescence and inflammaging. Interestingly, bone-derived changes often precede clinical manifestations of these ARDs, suggesting its potential use as an early biomarker for biological ageing and longevity risks. In our review, we explore the possibility of using the bone as a biomarker for ageing, followed by anti-ageing strategies to encourage bone longevity. We begin by discussing our current knowledge of the bone, the bone marrow (BM), changes in the BM with ageing and current methods of tracking bone ageing; both clinically and experimentally. We then explore studies that investigated the anti-ageing strategies, specifically focused on diet, exercises and lifestyle to shift towards enhanced bone health and longevity. Finally, we discuss the limitations of achieving this, what the future of this field may look like and what methods may be used to translate the idea of bone as a biomarker of ageing, from bench to bed.
