This study aimed to create a biological age assessment formula for the Chinese population and evaluate the effectiveness of double filtration plasmapheresis as an anti-aging intervention. Researchers recruited 915 participants, analyzing 34 blood markers to identify aging biomarkers and develop a biological age formula for both males and females. Double filtration plasmapheresis was then tested for its ability to reduce these biomarkers.
Key Findings:
- The biological age formulas were established for males and females based on comprehensive blood tests.
- Double filtration plasmapheresis effectively reduced aging biomarkers, resulting in an average biological age reduction of 4.47 years for males and 8.36 years for females.
Conclusion: The study suggests that biological age assessments can be a valuable tool for evaluating aging, and double filtration plasmapheresis may be a safe and potentially effective method for anti-aging. However, the effects are likely temporary, and further research is needed to determine the optimal frequency and extent of plasmapheresis treatments for sustained results.
