Physiology Friday #200: Higher Aerobic Fitness is Tied to Slower Biological Aging

Physiologically Speaking

One of the most promising biomarkers of biological age are so-called DNA methylation-based age estimators, otherwise known as DNA methylation age clocks. Physical fitness was measured using VO2 peak obtained during a maximal exercise test (the gold standard way to measure this outcome).
