Accelerated aging as a key mechanism linking diet quality to cardiovascular disease: a prospective mediation analysis in the UK Biobank.
GeroScience·September 20, 2026·PMID 42763827
Why it mattersDiet quality is a cornerstone of cardiovascular prevention, but the biological pathways remain unclear. This study provides evidence that accelerated aging—measured by phenotypic and biological age—may be a key intermediate mechanism, suggesting that interventions targeting aging-related dysregulation could enhance the cardiovascular benefits of healthy diets.
