What it does not prove

  • The abstract does not report what the study actually found, making it impossible to assess whether senolytics achieved the stated objectives or produced clinically meaningful changes in bone health
  • Open-label design means both participants and staff knew treatment assignment, allowing bias in outcome assessment
  • Clinical bone health improvements (fracture risk, bone density, strength) were not stated as outcomes measured
