US researchers say following eight measures - which include eating healthily, exercising regularly, quitting smoking and sleeping enough - may slow the pace of biological ageing.
Researchers analysed more than 6,500 Americans with an average age of 47. They found those with good heart health were 41 but had a biological age of 36. READ MORE:Adults who keep eight simple health metrics in check may age slower, research has suggested.
Experts say the eight measures promote good heart health, which in turn might slow the pace of biological ageing. They calculated their phenotypic age — an experimental measure of biological age based on the results of nine biomarkers, including those that monitor metabolism, inflammation and organ function.
4. Get healthy sleep: Most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Adequate sleep promotes healing, improves brain function and reduces the risk for chronic disease6. Control cholesterol: High levels of non-HDL, or 'bad,' cholesterol can lead to heart disease For example, the average actual age of those with high cardiovascular health was 41, yet their average biological age was 36.
Study author Professor Nour Makarem, an assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia University in New York, said: 'We found that higher cardiovascular health is associated with decelerated biological ageing, as measured by phenotypic age.She added: 'Greater adherence to all Life's Essential 8 metrics and improving your cardiovascular health can slow down your body's ageing process and have a lot of benefits down the line.
The researchers acknowledged that the participant's cardiovascular health was only measured once, which doesn't account for changes over time.
