Each month, we will highlight a paper published in Aging chosen as the “Editors’ Choice.” These selections are handpicked by our editors and accompanied by a brief summary, showcasing research with significant impact and novel insights in aging and age-related diseases.
This exploratory randomized controlled trial, titled “Short-term responsiveness of DNA methylation–based aging biomarkers to a multimodal intervention comprising exercise and dietary guidance involving daily consumption of yogurt containing Bifidobacterium longum BB536: an exploratory randomized controlled trial,” investigated whether a 12-week lifestyle intervention combining exercise, dietary guidance, and daily consumption of yogurt containing Bifidobacterium longum BB536 could influence biological aging.
The researchers found a significant slowing of the DNA methylation-based pace of aging measure DunedinPACE in overweight men aged 50 and older, suggesting that feasible lifestyle changes may be associated with short-term improvements in selected epigenetic aging biomarkers.
