- The MARK-AGE Study identified biomarkers of ageing in a European population of 3,300 subjects aged 35-74.
- A set of 10 biomarkers for females and 10 for males was used to calculate a 'bioage score' representing biological age.
- Biologically younger individuals, as determined by the MARK-AGE score, showed favorable blood chemistry profiles, including higher HDL and Vitamin D levels.
- Smoking females and individuals with Down Syndrome were found to be biologically older, while postmenopausal females on hormone replacement therapy were biologically younger.
- Certain markers like glucose and HbA1c correlated with chronological age but not biological age difference, suggesting different roles in ageing processes.
