World's Longest Medically Documented Repeated Fasting History in a 92 Year Old Man Who Fasted 21 Days Yearly for 45 Years: A Case Report.

Case presentation: Scientific documentation on lifelong repeated cycles of long-term fasting doesn't exist. We report the case of a 92-year-old man who fasted 3 weeks yearly for 45 years. Results: Body weight and clinical parameters showed cyclic variations, returning to baseline after food reintroduction. Biological age analysis indicated that the patient was 5.9 years younger than his chronological age. Mental and physical health tests documented the absence of frailty, that the patient could function independently, had excellent cognitive functions, and a good mobility. Conclusion: It can be reasonably assumed that this subject have had protective effects from his yearly fasting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
