Article Synopsis
- Phenotypic age, which is influenced by biological factors and includes nine biomarkers, offers a better indication of age-related health than chronological age.
- In a study of 774 residents over 60 in Mexico City, participants were classified into three aging categories: accelerated, normal, and slowed, with 13% showing accelerated aging linked to various risk factors.
- Those with accelerated aging demonstrated significantly reduced lung function and a higher incidence of emphysema, with notable associations to being male, having diabetes, and long sleep duration.
