For the long-term study, the team measured functions of 18 markers such as the kidneys, liver, heart, metabolism, lung function, and dental health.

They then looked back at these data points when the participants were 26, 32, and 38-years old and determined that people were aging between zero to three years per chronological year.

The researchers also found correlations in those who were not in great biological condition with lower scores on mental tests and physical challenges which included things like balance. The team hopes the research can one day help to identify ways to slow the aging process on a broader basis versus the traditional method of treating individual diseases.
