In most instances, we often just look at ageing in one dimension, which is the representation in time and how many years you have been alive.

However, in reality, a multitude of aspects such as diet, stress, exercise, sleep and environment will affect the rate at which we age.

Muhdo Health understands that we all come with a set of genetic predispositions but according to our lifestyle and environments those same predispositions are either diluted or accentuated through a process called Epigenetics.

Epigenetics is the intersection’ between genetics, nutrition, and environment and how diet, micronutrients, exercise and sleep can all change the expression of our genes.

Over the course of the last 7 years, we have identified key nutrients and lifestyle interventions from 1000’s time-stamped and series epigenetic samples, as well as real-time health and fitness data which have shown clear correlations for their positive effect on reducing biological age.

Understanding health can be an extremely complex task if you don’t have all of the pieces of the health puzzle together in one place.

The first area that we wanted to try and better understand, and possibly correlate was illness (of any metric) per month with biological age.

10% answered yes to being ill monthly. This was extremely interesting, as it showed that people who perceived they were ill on a monthly basis accelerated their biological age by an average of 8.7 years.

Average chronological age: 33.4

Average biological age: 42.1

Differential: acceleration + 8.7years

In comparison, those who said no to being ill each month had no real significant change to their biological age.

Average chronological age: 39.01

Average biological age: 39.15

Differential: negligible difference

What the results show is that those who feel ill or perceive to be ill each month is correlated to accelerated ageing and therefore those who have an accelerated age may well have an unknown pathology.
