Staying physically active with age can help to slow down biological aging Physical activity in late midlife can slow down metabolomics-based biological aging – but you need to move twice as much as currently recommended in the physical activity guidelines.

🤜 Our recent study summarized: Staying physically active with age can help to slow down biological aging.

Associations Between Leisure‐Time Physical Activity and Metabolomics‐Based Markers of Biological Aging in Late Midlife: Short‐Term and Long‐Term Follow‐Up PA may delay the onset of age-related diseases by decelerating biological aging. We found that higher self-reported amounts of PA in late midlife and device-based PA in old age were associated with i....

📢 The first article of my doctoral thesis is now published in Aging Cell!

💡Our study reveals how physical activity in late midlife predicts 16-year changes in metabolomics-based markers of biological aging.
