Can exercise slow down the epigenetic ageing clock?

老年人口占澳大利亚卫生预算的很大一部分。这个项目旨在发现新的分子生物标记物，可以减缓衰老过程，并更长时间保持良好的健康。该项目旨在使用创新的表观遗传学分析来研究年轻人和老年人的分子时钟，并测试运动是否可以减缓衰老过程。预计这将使人们更好地了解人类在一生中如何应对不断变化的环境，并将为开发基于证据的个性化健康干预措施奠定基础，以保持澳大利亚人更长时间的健康。

The aged population accounts for a significant amount of Australia’s health budget. This project aims to uncover novel molecular biomarkers that slow the ageing process and maintain good health for longer. This project aims to use innovative epigenetic analysis to study the molecular ‘clocks’ of young and old populations and to test whether exercise can slow the ageing process. This is expected to lead to a better understanding of how humans respond to changing environments during their lifetime, and will underpin the development of evidence-based personalised health interventions to keep Australians healthier for longer.
