Abstract

Ageing is a significant risk factor for age-related diseases, accounting for 51% of global total disease burden. As thus, promoting healthy ageing is crucial. Although several potential anti-ageing drugs show promise, none have been approved for anti-ageing purpose. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends physical exercise exceeding 600 metabolic equivalent of task (MET) minutes per week for adults. However, whether physical exercise positively impacts healthy biological ageing remains unclear.

Research summary

The paper claims that there is a joint association between physical exercise and caffeine intake in relation to biological ageing. This research is relevant as it explores lifestyle factors that may influence the biological processes of ageing, which is central to understanding and potentially mitigating age-related decline.
