That was very interesting, heard about it on the radio. The most obvious boon would be to massively accelerate the rate of progress in aging research. What if we could administer a month of substance X and then run this test. That would be nice.
Also, Holy Shit people in their 30's but with the bioage of 60

Some people can halt – and even reverse – the ageing process in their thirties, scientists say.
Am I the only one who is sceptical about their conclusions? The study itself seems to be pretty comphensive, but, as expected, some conclusions the media made are a bit exhadurated. Biological age is an approximation and an aggregation of a bunch of different biomarkets and it's not a perfect measurement.
If some people can reverse the aging process in their thirties,why can't they reverse the aging process in their fifties? If they can reverse the aging process at any age, then why nobody looks at 100 like they do when their are in their 20s?
I think we can make two conclusions out of this: people age at different rates and we don't have perfect methods of measuring biological age.
Clearly, if we look around we notice that aging is a function of time. There are no Benjamin Buttons among us. So, if those people really became younger within a certain period it just shows that we were unable to measure something that was still aging them. Obviously, over a longer period of time those people are still biologically aging, because if we would look at their biological age at age 70 again, they would be older. In other words, something age-related is happening to them in that period of time, which is either not measured or measured imperfectly. I think that is a better conclusion that saying that some of those bodies travelled back in time.
To truly reverse aging we need more progress and rejuvination therapies. Otherwise, we're still in a freefall without a parashoot. Some have more terminal velocity some has less, but we all are still falling down.

Nope. This paper got a huge amount of media hype, but I think it's kind of a load. Their various biomarkers have more to do with health than with aging. I think they demonstrated that some people have better diets and exercise more than others, that some smoke and some don't, and some have sucked down enough sugar to drive themselves into T2DM. We know that a lot of these factors can be turned around with changes in diet and exercise.

Well, the good news is that the authors are open to the idea of rejuvenation.

I call shenanigans.
They just made up an arbitrary definition of "biological age" based on a few things they happen to be able to cheaply measure, and then went and looked under the streetlight they happened to turn on. For mercy's sake, this is the very definition of what confirmation bias is, and they unashamedly went and made a paper out of it.
