The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
And now with the advent of modern DNA tests, you can also get a clear picture of what your biological age is and compare that to your chronological age. And obviously your biological age is the important one because it predicts how long you will live and it's the one that you can control.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
And of course, despite what our birthday cake screams back at us, it is our biological age that really matters.
And, of course, your biological age is really the age that counts.
chronological age doesn't the whole story. our bodies function at different biological ages and people have more power to influence those ages than is generally understood by the world today
what we're trying to do here is build intuition around the difference between a chronological age and a biological age a chronological age is the duration you've lived on this Earth your biological age is a representation of your function
You can in fact measure biological age.
The one thing that impacts just about every disease? Our biological (not chronological) age.
Slowing biological aging -> lengthening healthspan -> not dying so soon
Biological age determines our health & ultimately our lifespan.
Biological age refers to a person’s overall health in aging, as distinct from their chronological age
Biological age predicts not just how long you might live, but also what kind of a life you're going to live.
So, the thing is that there's a chronological age and there's a biological age. And you want to be biologically younger, like, who cares what your chronological age is?

Yeah, biological age I will certainly...you know,
Everyone’s chronological age increases at the same speed, but we also have a biological age — how our bodies are actually aging — and our biological clocks tick at slightly different rates from each other.
