Associations Between Leisure‐Time Physical Activity and Metabolomics‐Based Markers of Biological Aging in Late Midlife: Short‐Term and Long‐Term Follow‐Up
PA may delay the onset of age-related diseases by decelerating biological aging. We found that higher self-reported amounts of PA in late midlife and device-based PA in old age were associated with i...
