Description

Ignacio Ramírez-Gallegos and co-authors study metabolic age in Spanish workers in a 2024 paper. Metabolic age guesses how old a body acts, based on its resting burn rate and other health signs, rather than years lived. The team measured it with a body-composition scan in 8,590 workers in the Balearic Islands and set a high mark at twelve or more years above true age.

Survey data covered sex, age, social class, smoking, exercise, and how closely each worker ate a Mediterranean diet. Every one of those factors linked to the chance of a high metabolic age, though the links varied in strength. The work shows how daily habits and social standing track with a body that ages faster than the calendar.
