Given the advent of various clocks that measure biological age, one might expect that the research community will repeat and update past efforts to quantify the effects of diet, exercise, and other lifestyle factors on the long-term risk of age-related disease and mortality. The open access paper here is an example of this sort of work, focused on the impact of diet. The researchers made use of their own aging clock based on simple biomarkers, similar to Phenotypic Age, in order to determine a relationship between dietary quality and pace of aging.

In this prospective cohort study of 12,784 participants, based on a recently developed biological aging measure acquired at four-time points within an 8-year period, we identified three aging trajectories where participants in medium-degree or high-degree accelerated aging trajectory groups had higher …
