Lifestyle factors In general, lifestyle factors have only weak effects on epigenetic age acceleration in blood. Cross sectional studies of extrinsic epigenetic aging rates in blood confirm the conventional wisdom regarding the benefits of education, eating a high plant diet with lean meats, moderate alcohol consumption,  physical activity and the risks associated with metabolic syndrome. However, studies suggest that high levels of alcohol consumption may accelerate certain epigenetic clocks.
Lifestyle factors In general, lifestyle factors have only weak associations with epigenetic age acceleration in blood. Cross sectional studies of extrinsic epigenetic aging rates in blood show reduced epigenetic aging correlates with higher education, eating a high plant diet with lean meats, moderate alcohol consumption, and physical activity and the risks associated with metabolic syndrome. However, studies suggest that high levels of alcohol consumption are associated with accelerated aging of certain epigenetic clocks.
