Dr. Kurt Hong, a 52-year-old obesity doctor, nutrition researcher, and professor of medicine and aging, recorded a PhenoAge of 41, 11 years younger than his chronological age. PhenoAge measures nine biomarkers including inflammation and metabolic health. Hong follows a Mediterranean diet rich in fresh produce, takes vitamin D supplements, and maintains an active lifestyle to sustain healthy weight. He performs both aerobic exercise and resistance training weekly, citing aerobic work for cardiovascular fitness and strength training for muscle and bone density. He exercises outdoors when possible and favors running, hiking, and swimming in summer. He emphasizes proactivity in preventing age-related chronic diseases.
"A lot of the age-related chronic diseases are directly related to what you eat and your weight," he said. "The key is really to be proactive."
"They contribute to different things," he said.
"Aerobic exercise without question really contributes to your cardiovascular fitness and health," he said.
