The Journals of #Gerontology have published a paper on the factors that accelerate epigenetic #aging… from worst to bad:
1. Smoking — ah, les French… so roman… 🤢
2. #Alcohol intake — ah les… almost everyone… no, even 1 glass of wine
3. Waist size — USA! USA!
4. Body fat — OK, I’ll stop…
5. CRP (inflammation)
6. Triglycerides
7. Childhood #obesity
8. Type 2 diabetes
For the curious: using DNA methylation-based markers of accelerated biological aging.
