Total Mortality Reduction: How to Calculate Combined Effects
When combining multiple interventions, you cannot simply add their individual mortality reductions because:
- Mortality risks overlap (e.g., two interventions may target the same biological pathway).
- Diminishing returns apply (reducing risk further becomes harder as you approach zero).
Correct Calculation Method
- Convert % reductions to survival multipliers:
- A 10% reduction = 0.90 multiplier (1 – 0.10).
- A 20% reduction = 0.80 multiplier.
- Multiply the survival probabilities:
- Example: Two 10% reductions → ( 0.90 \times 0.90 = 0.81 ) (19% total reduction, not 20%).
- Adjust for overlap:
- If interventions share mechanisms (e.g., NMN + Resveratrol both boost NAD+), assume higher overlap (e.g., ( 0.90 \times 0.95 = 0.855 ) → 14.5% reduction).
Applied Example: Top 5 Interventions
| Intervention | Low ↓Mort | High ↓Mort | Survival Multiplier (Low) | Survival Multiplier (High) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rapamycin | 8% | 15% | 0.92 | 0.85 |
| Aerobic Exercise | 6% | 12% | 0.94 | 0.88 |
| Mediterranean Diet | 5% | 10% | 0.95 | 0.90 |
| Metformin | 5% | 12% | 0.95 | 0.88 |
| NMN | 4% | 10% | 0.96 | 0.90 |
Combined Low Estimate:
( 0.92 \times 0.94 \times 0.95 \times 0.95 \times 0.96 = 0.747 ) → 25.3% total reduction.
Combined High Estimate:
( 0.85 \times 0.88 \times 0.90 \times 0.88 \times 0.90 = 0.533 ) → 46.7% total reduction.
Realistic Adjusted Estimate: ~30–40% (accounting for pathway overlaps).
Key Rules
- Non-overlapping mechanisms (e.g., Rapamycin + Exercise) compound more additively.
- Overlapping mechanisms (e.g., NMN + Resveratrol) compound less additively.
- Upper limit: Even with 10+ interventions, total reduction rarely exceeds 50–60% in practice.
Practical Implications
- Prioritize interventions with distinct mechanisms:
- Rapamycin (mTOR) + Metformin (AMPK) + Exercise (CR mimic) → Higher combined effect.
- Avoid stacking similar supplements:
- NMN + Resveratrol → Partial overlap (both boost NAD+/sirtuins).
Visual Guide
Individual Reductions: 10% + 10% = 19% (not 20%)
Low-Effort Stack: 2–3 interventions → ~15–25% reduction.
Max-Effort Stack: 5+ interventions → ~30–50% reduction. Need help optimizing your stack? Share your current regimen! 😊

Conclusion
You can increase you chance of living another year by taking just a few lifestyle, diet, supplement, and drugs. The only one that involves costs and difficulty are rapamycin and metformin. They are prescription drugs in some places requiring a doctor’s visit for prescription. The cost of rapamycin is high but the dose is so low a bottle will last a year and you will have to divide the tablets, powder, or capsules into small doses once a week. Unfortunately, these are also the two interventions with the largest impact on survival.
You should work with your doctor on these and the other interventions. If your doctor will not support your efforts to stay alive, change immediately to one who will.
