Following “Life’s Essential 8” checklist may slow biological aging by 6 years

  American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2023 and Resuscitation Science Symposium 2023, held earlier this month in Philadelphia: here are some of the important scientific findings that could impact your heart and stroke health.


  • An analysis of more than 6,500 adults found that having high cardiovascular health — as measured by the American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential 8 checklist — may slow the pace of biological aging, which may reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular and other age-related diseases while extending life,
  • After accounting for a range of socioeconomic factors, adults with high cardiovascular health were about six years younger biologically than their chronological age.
