Assessment

Primary outcomes

DNA methylation-based aging clocks

Key secondary outcomes

1. Blood biomarkers 1 (GMM, MME, DMP, DMR, etc.)
2. Blood biomarkers 2 (transcriptome, T cell-derived aging biomarkers, metabolome, plasma copeptin, plasma osmolality, plasma sodium)
3. Gut microbiota (shotgun metagenomics)
4. Morphological parameters (height, body weight, body composition, waist circumference, calf circumference)
5. Physical fitness parameters (Chester step test, handgrip strength, vertical jump)
6. Cognitive function (TMT-A/B, Stroop task, Flanker task, n-back task)
7. Psychological function (WHO QOL-26, POMS2, PSS, K10)
8. Lifestyle factors (PSQI, BDHQ, MEQ, self-administered questionnaire)
9. Urinary indices (urine specific gravity, urine osmolality)
