Abstract
Calorie restriction has been found to prolong lifespan and prevents age-associated diseases in several species. What causes these beneficial outcomes is still a topic of research. Whereas some study’s point to the ratio of macronutrients rather than the caloric intake as regulator of the beneficial effects, other studies do point to added life- extending potential of calorie restriction over protein restriction alone. This literature review addresses these contrasting findings, questionable methodologies and pitfalls in translating findings from model-organisms to humans and gives insight into future research-needs.
