“Muscle power is an underappreciated aging biomarker "Muscle power is more strongly associated with critical functional outcomes, such as mobility, fall prevention, and physical independence in older adults, compared to muscle strength or muscle mass."”

“Aging is driven by both genetic and lifestyle factors. The pathways that govern how a person ages vary. Dr. Snyder's research indicates that people exhibit distinct aging patterns, called "ageotypes," based on measures of organ function and other biomarkers.”

“BPA and phthalates can interact with hormone-related biological pathways. Human studies have associated higher urinary BPA with lower testosterone in male adolescents, while a broader meta-analysis linked selected phthalate biomarkers with changes in male reproductive hormones.”

“This is an important consideration for people who adhere to a long-term ketogenic diet. Differences exist between indiviuals such that what benefits one person may be harmful to another. Biomarkers are emerging that may address these differences, but they are yet to be validated.”

“He suggests it may be prudent to select a more liberalized version of the diet and gradually restrict carbohydrates and monitor biomarkers for adverse reactions. Other thoughts include incorporating fiber-rich vegetables and choosing unsaturated rather than saturated fats.”

“That is a model-based comparison of test scores, not evidence that participants’ brains literally became two years younger, and the related substudies should not be treated as three independent replications. COSMOS also showed that the supplement changed nutritional biomarkers.”

“Put another way, there is a big difference between first-generation and second-generation epigenetic clocks. The second-generation clocks go a step beyond tracking chronological age by statistically regressing more conventional health-related biomarkers.”

“In this excerpt from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's A4M LongevityFest 2023 keynote, she argues that vigorous exercise is one of the most powerful tools for healthy aging because it can raise cardiorespiratory fitness.”

“Within days of eliminating refined sugar, biomarkers of inflammation decrease markedly, and blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels improve. Risk of type 2 diabetes drops by nearly 25 percent.”
