“Epigenetic aging clocks use an organism’s DNA methylation profile biomarker of aging based on alterations in an organism’s DNA methylation profile and can be used to predict likelihood of death (i.e., mortality).”

“They assigned participants to consume a low carbohydrate diet (less than 20 grams of carbohydrates per day) for six months or continue their habitual diet. Participants provided a blood sample to measure metabolic and cancer biomarkers at multiple time points.”

“Scientists use a variety of means to gauge biological age, including methylation markers, gray matter volume, and facial aging. Findings from a recent study suggest that retinas provide useful biomarkers in determining a person's biological age.”

“The authors of the study collected information about the participants' dietary intake, body weight and composition, blood pressure, physical activity, and various blood biomarkers, including glycated hemoglobin, a measure of long-term blood glucose control (also known as HbA1c).”

“The biomarker findings pointed to common patterns despite the different carbohydrate and fat targets. People whose eating habits most closely matched the healthier versions of these diets tended to have lower triglycerides, higher HDL cholesterol, and lower levels of an inflammation marker.”

“This work provides a detailed explanation of why sex hormone-binding globulin is a sensitive biomarker of metabolic syndrome and why simple sugars, especially fructose, decrease fertility. Link to full report.”

“His early research demonstrated the importance of exercise, fitness, blood pressure, and blood biomarkers in predicting outcomes of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, sudden cardiac death, cardiac arrhythmias, and heart failure.”

“The data were adjusted for several potential confounding factors, including the number of previous births, maternal socioeconomic status, maternal age, self-reported smoking during pregnancy, maternal cotinine levels (a biomarker of nicotine), gestational age, weight for gestational age, information on maternal and paternal psychiatric diagnoses (including ADHD), substance use disorders…”

“That is why higher urinary 8-OH-dG in this trial was interpreted as a sign of increased repair and cleanup of oxidative DNA damage. The main limitation is that this was a small, short trial that focused on a single biomarker, so it cannot show whether melatonin improves long-term health in night shift workers.”

“Supplement quality, dose, frequency, and duration were also not reported. For now, product claims based on biological age scores should be treated cautiously, with greater weight placed on controlled trials showing benefits on established biomarkers, physical function, or disease risk.”
