Now, we hear a lot out various countries 🇺🇸🇮🇳🇯🇵🇬🇧from around the world🌍, or their “Blue Zones” where certain regions 🇮🇹 and/or populations seem to have a secret elixir🧪 to longevity, and often living to 90-100 👵🏽years of age isn’t that remarkable and seems to be somewhat of the norm!

1. Diet 🥗🍖
2. Sunnier Climate 🌤️😎
3. Less Stress 😀
4. A Coastal Breeze and Dip in the Water 🌴🏖️
5. The local Wine 🍷

Or possibly some other “Je Ne Sais Quoi”❓❓

Well, after a little bit of digging around in our global Epigenetic data 🧬set of 15,000 people or so, we have decided to have a bit of fun to start the New Year and 2025 off and have complied 📚 a Top Ten of some of the slowest 🐢 and fastest 🐇 ageing countries from around the world!! 🌍

We did this utilising our Methylpace clock, which is basically an advanced tool designed to measure and analyse biological ageing through the science 🔬👩🏼‍🔬 of epigenetics.🧬

Unlike chronological age, which simply reflects the number of years since you were born👼🏽, biological age provides a true measure of the body’s cellular health and how it has been influenced by environmental 🌍 and lifestyle 😴🏋️‍♂️ factors.

This cutting edge technology uses DNA methylation🧬, a key epigenetic mechanism, as a precise 🔍 biomarker to assess how individuals are possibly ageing at a molecular level.🦠

When we were analysing postal addresses and methylpace norms, countries/areas 🌍 🇨🇺🇨🇦🇦🇺🇯🇲 with the best ageing, who came out top!?

1. Singapore – 23% slower (per 10 chronological years, only 7.7 biological years pass) 🇸🇬
2. Italy and Spain – 18% slower 🇮🇹🇪🇸
3. Sweden – 17.6% slower 🇸🇪
4. Denmark, Switzerland – 17% slower 🇩🇰🇨🇭
5. Japan – 14.2% slower 🇯🇵
6. U.K. – 3.4% slower 🇬🇧
7. Germany – 0.3% slower 🇩🇪
8. Canada – 0.1% faster 🇨🇦
9. USA – 1.2% faster 🇺🇸
10. India – 2.3% faster 🇮🇳

How do you think your country would rate with either being fast or slow ageing!?
