Key points from article :
Stanford University has developed a method to categorise the way we age, dubbed ageotypes.
43 healthy men and women, aged between 34 and 68 years of age, studied.
Each participant tested at least five times a year for two years.
Used fecal samples, blood, and other biological samples to track a panel of biomarkers.
People generally age in four primary ways: metabolic, hepatic (liver), nephritic (kidney), immune system.
Creatine and hemoglobin A1c, which are indicative biomarkers of kidney function.
10 biomarkers varied significantly between insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant people.
Some individuals saw a brief reversal of biomarkers as a result of healthier behavior.
