Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To clarify the effects of exercise training on biological aging based on salivary DNA methylation in healthy middle-aged men and women aged 40-55 years.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

To assess intervention effects by comparing with existing research data (such as historical control data) or by adjusting for imbalances in background factors, propensity score matching using a nearest-neighbor algorithm will be applied. Covariates including age, sex, BMI, and baseline lifestyle habits will be incorporated. Participants with the most similar logit-transformed propensity scores will be matched in a 1:1 ratio via nearest-neighbor search. By conducting parallel-group comparisons with adjusted background factors, we will exploratorily infer the pure causal effect of exercise intervention on salivary DNA methylation age.
