Paper

Abstract

Population aging has intensified interest in identifying physiological determinants of biological age beyond chronological age. Muscle loss and bone deterioration are key features of age-related decline, yet their individual, joint, and sex-specific contributions to biological age acceleration remain insufficiently characterized in Asian populations.

Research summary

The paper claims that muscle and bone health have joint and independent associations with biological age acceleration in Chinese adults. This research is relevant as it explores physiological determinants of biological age, which is crucial for understanding the aging process and potential interventions for longevity.
