dancing hiking strength training there are things people do to remain fit and stay young and while staying young may not be literally possible based on your chronological age the idea is not so far-fetched when you consider a person's biological age the state of your health or as it said in a uc san diego health study a person's epigenetic age an epigenetic age refers to someone's biological age it's one only just one way to measure biological age but it captures the health of your tissues and cells and organ systems using the methylation marks across the genome methylation marks these are molecules that attach to your dna causing some genes to be expressed and some to not be in pervijane's research those methylation markers were revealed through blood tests of about 1800 women professor andrea lecroy was jane's dissertation advisor what we're trying to find is a marker that we can easily measure in the blood that tells us whether we're aging faster or slower than our chronological age the research found that when markers act on your dna they can increase the risk of disease and accelerate your biological age that has a profound effect on how long we live and how well we live so what we found is that for every five to eight years of epigenetic age acceleration so that means if you were five to eight years older than your chronological age you had a 20 to 32 percent lower odds of living to age 90 with intact mobility and cognitive function jane says those methylation markers are kind of like traffic signals for your genes but how do they get there in the case of accelerated aging it could just be bad luck but scientists say that well-known factors like lack of exercise and poor diet do influence your health put another way they can determine your health span many of us think about growing older and um the thing we perhaps fear most isn't dying but losing the ability to live the lives we want to live at least in surveys in the past that's what older adults have told us that they don't care as much about living to be the oldest age they can be but they care a lot about being able to do the things that they love doing for the longest period of time and that's really what health span is if accelerated aging can be reversed or stopped altogether that's what some of these older folks are trying to do at this exercise studio in la mesa [Music] this studio part of san diego oasis was filled with people taking a soul dancing class when we stopped by one of many exercise classes they offer oh my gosh it keeps your mind young it keeps your heart young just your whole body keeps keeps you moving and it's so important for the whole the whole picture of health pat vormin age 62 clearly exercises...
