We find things that are not surprising, so, socioeconomic status is a big thing in terms of differences in epigenetic age but also behavior. So, smoking really accelerates your epigenetic age. Generally, exercise will tend to decrease epigenetic age. Eating we think probably plant-based diet is going to decrease epigenetic age. And then, yeah, a lot of the things, don't drink heavily, get, you know, good-quality sleep, minimize stress, all the things that everyone's mother and grandmother told them to do in life.
