While observational studies and small pilot trials suggest that vitamin D, omega-3 and exercise may slow biological aging, larger clinical trials testing these treatments individually or in combination are lacking. Here, we report the results of a post hoc analysis among 777 participants of the DO-HEALTH trial on the effect of vitamin D (2,000 IU per day) and/or omega-3 (1 g per day) and/or a home exercise program on four next-generation DNA methylation (DNAm) measures of biological aging (PhenoAge, GrimAge, GrimAge2 and DunedinPACE) over 3 years. Omega-3 alone slowed the DNAm clocks PhenoAge, GrimAge2 and DunedinPACE, and all three treatments had additive benefits on PhenoAge. Overall, from baseline to year 3, standardized effects ranged from 0.16 to 0.32 units (2.9-3.8 months). In summary, our trial indicates a small protective effect of omega-3 treatment on slowing biological aging over 3 years across several clocks, with an additive protective effect of omega-3, vitamin D and exercise based on PhenoAge.
虽然观察性研究和小型试点试验表明,维生素D、omega-3和运动可能会减缓生物衰老,但缺乏对这些治疗方法单独或联合进行测试的大型临床试验。在此,我们报告了一项事后分析的结果,该分析涉及DO-HEALTH试验的777名参与者,研究了维生素D(每天2000国际单位)和/或omega-3(每天1克)和/或家庭锻炼计划在3年内对四种新一代生物衰老的DNA甲基化(DNAm)指标(PhenoAge、GrimAge、GrimAge2和达尼丁PACE)的影响。单独使用omega-3可减缓DNAm时钟PhenoAge、GrimAge2和达尼丁PACE,并且所有三种治疗方法对PhenoAge都有累加益处。总体而言,从基线到第3年,标准化效应范围为0.16至0.32个单位(2.9 - 3.8个月)。总之,我们的试验表明,omega-3治疗在3年内对减缓多个时钟的生物衰老有较小的保护作用,基于PhenoAge,omega-3、维生素D和运动有累加保护作用。
