The DO-HEALTH study, led by Heike Bischoff-Ferrari, analyzed the effects of vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and strength training on biological aging in 777 people over 70. Employing epigenetic clocks to measure biological age through DNA methylation, the results demonstrated that these interventions can effectively slow biological aging, leading to reduced disease risks, including infections, falls, and cancer. This pioneering research offers significant insights into managing aging processes and enhancing healthspan among older adults.
The study found that vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and regular physical activity can significantly slow biological aging, reducing the risk of diseases associated with aging.
Bischoff-Ferrari emphasizes that their research verifies the direct influence of targeted interventions on slowing biological aging, leading to improved health outcomes.
