Association between Accelerated Biological Aging, Diet, and Gut Microbiome.

ABSTRACT: Factors driving accelerated biological age (BA), an important predictor of chronic diseases, remain poorly understood. This study focuses on the impact of diet and gut microbiome on accelerated BA. Accelerated Klemera-Doubal biological age (KDM-BA) was estimated as the difference between KDM-BA and chronological age. We assessed the cross-sectional association between accelerated KDM-BA and diet/gut microbiome in 117 adult participants from the 10,000 Families Study. 16S rRNA sequencing was used to estimate the abundances of gut bacterial genera. Multivariable linear mixed models evaluated the associations between accelerated KDM-BA and diet/gut microbiome after adjusting for family relatedness, diet, age, sex, smoking status, alcohol intake, and BMI.
