Physical fitness was measured using VO2 peak obtained during a maximal exercise test (the gold standard way to measure this outcome). A few biochemical measures were associated with biological age: higher triglycerides predicted faster age acceleration while higher HDL cholesterol predicted slower age acceleration.

Limit your intake of saturated and trans fats, as they can raise cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease. Calculate your body mass index (BMI) to determine whether you are within a healthy weight range for your height. They can assess your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and other risk factors.

Falling into the class of obesity with a BMI of greater than 30 makes this more likely, but so also does having excess visceral fat deposition with significant metabolic consequences at a BMI less than 30. The distinction here is the metabolic consequences of excess fat causing a health risk rather than focusing on the BMI cutoff.

Specifically, eating a meal containing 25 grams of protein or more activates the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and inhibits autophagy in immune cells known as macrophages, which promote the buildup of plaque and cholesterol in arteries, a process known as atherosclerosis. Does this same mechanism exist in humans?

The accumulation of cholesterol, foam cells, fibrous tissue, and calcium mainly causes the narrowing of coronary arteries.
