Lifestyle-Associated Biomarkers of Cellular and Whole-Organism Aging: A Practical Roadmap for Human Geroscience Trials

Aging is a multidimensional biological process that is not adequately captured by chronological age alone. Geroscience—the study of biological mechanisms that drive age-related functional decline and disease susceptibility—therefore requires biomarker frameworks that can identify...

Glycaemic–treatment phenotypes of diabetes and their correlates among Korean adults: a repeated cross-sectional analysis of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2015–2024
