This study found that healthy eating is inversely associated with methylation-based measures of biological age. Improving diet has the most benefits in lowering biological age among women with lower levels of physical activity.
Background: Healthy eating is associated with lower risks of disease and mortality, but the mechanisms underlying these associations are unclear. Age is strongly related to health outcomes, and biological age can be estimated using the blood methylome. Objectives: To determine whether healthy eating patterns are associated with methylation-based measures of biological age. Methods: Among women in the Sister Study, we calculated scores on 4 recommendation-based healthy eating indexes [Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet, Healthy Eating Index-2015, Alternative Healthy Eating Index (aHEI-2010), and the Alternative Mediterranean diet] using a validated 110-item Block FFQ completed at enrollment. Genome-wide DNA methylation data were generated using the HumanMethylation450 BeadChip on whole blood samples collected at enrollment from a case-cohort sample of 2694 women and were used to calculate 4 measures of epigenetic age acceleration (Hannum AgeAccel, Horvath AgeAccel, PhenoAgeAccel, and GrimAgeAccel). Linear regression models, adjusted for covariates and cohort sampling weights, were used to examine cross-sectional associations between eating patterns and measures of biological age. Results: All 4 healthy eating indexes had inverse associations with epigenetic age acceleration, most notably with PhenoAgeAccel and GrimAgeAccel. Of these, the strongest associations were for aHEI-2010 [per 1-SD increase in diet quality, PhenoAgeAccel beta = -0.5 y (95% CI: -0.8 to -0.2 y) and GrimAgeAccel beta = -0.4 y (95% CI: -0.6 to -0.3 y)]. Although effect modification was not observed for most lifestyle factors, in analyses stratified by physical activity, the benefits of a healthy diet on epigenetic age acceleration were more pronounced among women who did not meet physical activity guidelines (reporting <2.5 h/wk of exercise). Conclusions: Higher diet quality is inversely associated with methylation-based measures of biological age. Improving diet could have the most benefits in lowering biological age among women with lower levels of physical activity.
