The tortoise entry lists the maximum as 192 years, but Jonathan—the Seychelles giant tortoise recognized as the oldest chelonian/land animal—has since turned 193. Britannica's current entry says Jonathan celebrated his official 193rd birthday on December 4, 2025. That makes the article's present-tense age figure out of date.

The article describes koi as "a Japanese species of fish", but authoritative fisheries guidance identifies koi as a domesticated variety of common carp, not a separate species. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources states that koi are a colorful, domesticated variety of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). So the article is incorrect to label koi as their own Japanese species.

The article says "So far, three Mouse Prizes have been awarded", but the Methuselah Foundation's own retrospective on the MPrize says it awarded four financial prizes. In addition to the three winners named here (Andrzej Bartke, Stephen Spindler, and Z. Dave Sharp), the foundation also lists Sandy Keith as a prize recipient. That means the count of awarded Mouse Prizes in the article is incorrect.

Calling this a "mendelian randomization trial" is inaccurate. Mendelian randomization (MR) is a study method that uses genetic variants as instrumental variables to infer causal effects; it is generally reported as an observational study design, not an intervention trial. The specific LDL-C paper matching the article's numbers is itself titled "Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and lifespan: A Mendelian randomization study" and reports the same 1.2 years lower lifespan estimate. So the article mislabels the design of the research.
