According to the researchers, metformin works on the ‘longevity gene’ SIRT1 to protect the user’s vascular system against deterioration caused by glucose toxicity.

Metformin and SIRT1 (catching on)
So AMPK/Sirt1 likely promote each other's activation (which is why teasing out MOA, determining true cause and effect can be hard)

Further complicating things is timing, duration, dosing, etc. ie in this paper chronic metformin increases murine Sirt1 https://t.co/30vioi25ZF 8/ pic.twitter.com/rufhVQMSXp

"We May Not Have to Age So Fast
Researchers in epigenetics are learning how to slow down—and even turn back—the clock that governs aging in our cells"

No law of biology says we must age at a certain rate. New research suggests that aging may be a disease like cancer—and can be treated. https://t.co/KHdZWtDz4s

not 1 size fits all, no, embryonic NOT!!
Aging may be due to epigenetic noise and drift. Ding et al. @JohnsHopkins have identified a nanostacking structure that enables ultralow noise and drift in computer memory, exactly what we'd need in biology to slow aging. #lifespanbook #aging #AI https://t.co/9cQfjQUbp3 pic.twitter.com/GbFDpkDRgT

Regardless whether you put #aging out of your mind or not you're going to continue to age until it becomes a problem. Instead of putting it out of your mind until the problem's at your doorstep why not try to reverse it? Indeed biogerontology & biomedical gerontology are on it.
