Big picture

Time period Development summary More details
19th century Basic science The concept of calorie is developed in this time. The concept of calorie restriction is practically non-existent.
20th century (first half) Basic concept and first discoveries In the early century, Carlo Moreschi becomes the first to describe the effects of calorie restriction on cancer prevention. This would be followed by a large body of work demonstrating calorie restriction tumor preventive effects in various animal models.[1] However, the basic concept of calorie restriction is founded in the late 1930s.[2] In that same decade, calorie restriction possible impact on the growth and health of children becomes an important topic, while mechanisms that underlie aging are not on the radar screen yet.[3] Since the late 1930s, the term calorie restriction becomes more widely used. In the 1940s, many researchers report that calorie restriction retards or prevents the onset of age-related diseases such as kidney disease, tumors, and leukemia.[2]
20th century (second half) Increased link to longevity and clinical introduction From the 1950s towards the 1980s, the longevity effect of calorie restriction is reported in multiple species.[2] Beginning in the 1970s, research on calorie restriction and aging markedly intensifies.[4] Around the late 1970s and early 1980s, a resurgence in interest begins in the potential of calorie restriction to extend life. The work of Roy Walford in the United States is notable at this time.[5] In the 1980s, the very-low-calorie diet starts being used for clinical purposes.[6]
1990s onwards Modern approach Molecular biology is increasingly put to use in the effort to understand the basis of the actions of calorie restriction. Prior to it, morphological pathology and physiology were the primary tools used to explore CR.[7]

2007 Research Longevity Helpful Human Stydy by Speakman and Hambly calculates that if the lifespan effects observed in rodents translate faithfully to an effect in humans, then if a 48 year old engaged in 30% calorie restriction for 30 years, until the current mean life-expectancy of 78, they might expect to live only an extra 2.8 years because of the CR effect.[81]
