One of the most promising biomarkers of biological age are so-called DNA methylation-based age estimators, otherwise known as DNA methylation age clocks. A few biochemical measures were associated with biological age: higher triglycerides predicted faster age acceleration while higher HDL cholesterol predicted slower age acceleration.

1,12,13 While it is important to treat all known risk factors that contribute to ASCVD including high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and obesity, physicians also need to recognize and treat systemic inflammation in CV disease. 21 Luckily, each of these risks can be measured by simple blood tests.

Coronary artery disease is caused by the retention of a cholesterol particle in the artery wall. But if a retained cholesterol particle is the spark. On the far end of that line is type two diabetes. Insulin resistance and diabetes may not ‘ cause ’ coronary artery disease, but they are huge accelerants.

They have the biomarker of risk but no evidence of the disease , even later in life when you would expect them to have it. A healthy lifestyle, in this instance, is defined by a combination of: BMI Nutrition Smoking Status Activity Levels Blood Pressure Diabetes Status Cholesterol Levels All of which are highly modifiable.

On one side, advocates of low-carbohydrate diets argue that cutting carbs, particularly in the form of sugars, is essential for weight management and metabolic health — pointing the rise of insulin resistance, obesity, and type 2 diabetes as evidence that our carbohydrate-laden diets are wreaking havoc on our bodies.

The new model uses a set of 10 factors including age, cigarette smoking status, diabetes status, and blood levels of several cardiac biomarkers, to gauge the risk of a new cardiovascular event, regardless of whether the patient has had one before.

These findings suggest that Zc may be a useful biomarker for identifying individuals at risk for MCI.
