Structured lifestyle modification and biological aging: effects on PhenoAge, sclerostin, and GDF-15 in arab adults with prediabetes
Source: Frontiers in Aging
What the research found
BackgroundLifestyle modification programs (LMP) such as diabetes prevention programs may influence phenotypic aging trajectories, but evidence in Middle Eastern populations remains limited. This study examined the effects of a structured LMP on phenotypic age (PhenoAge) as the primary endpoint and circulating sclerostin (SOST) and growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) as secondary endpoints in a cohort of Arab ad
Evidence level: Human study. A study in people, but an association isn't proof of cause.
