SUMMARY

A 1972 Russian-language historical note by G.Z. Pitskhelauri marking the 175th anniversary of the first publication of Hufeland's macrobiotic treatise. Used in this case as a secondary historical reference for the place of Hufeland's macrobiotics in the history of longevity medicine. The PubMed record (PMID 4565605) gives the verbatim translated title, the journal Sov Zdravookhr, volume 31, issue 6, pages 77-80, year 1972, language Russian; identifiers and metadata were copied from that record. The anniversary count (175 years from 1797 is 1972) is consistent with the 1797 first-edition date used in this case.

NOTES

Pitskhelauri’s 1972 note in Sovetskoe Zdravookhranenie is a short historical assessment of Hufeland’s macrobiotics, published to mark the 175th anniversary of the treatise. It is used here as a secondary indicator of the long afterlife of Hufeland’s programme in the literature of longevity medicine. The bibliographic metadata (title, journal, volume, issue, pages, year, language) were copied from the PubMed record for PMID 4565605. The note is in Russian; this archive cites it for its existence and its framing of Hufeland as the originator of a durable macrobiotic tradition, not for any specific medical finding. The substantive content of the case is grounded in Hufeland’s own text (the 1797 first edition and the 1867 English edition) and the Deutsche Biographie.
