Abstract

Abdominal adiposity may contribute to both general and cardiovascular ageing, yet the extent to which accelerated biological age (BA) at distinct molecular levels mediates these effects has not been fully elucidated.

The following analysis is generated by AI and may contain errors. It is separate from the authors’ abstract and is not peer review.

Research summary

Abdominal adiposity is linked to accelerated biological aging and its effects on general and cardiovascular aging in Chinese adults. This paper addresses a potential root cause of aging by exploring the relationship between abdominal fat and biological aging, which is relevant to longevity research.
