Telomere length is arguably the best marker of biological age, and shorter mean telomere length, usually measured in your white blood cells, is associated with increased risk of heart disease, obesity, cancer, stroke, dementia, and premature death (2).

A new study by University of Southern California and Yale University researchers suggests that at least part of the gains in life expectancy over recent decades may be due to a change in the rate of biological aging, rather than simply keeping ailing people alive.
