The Claim
Exercise is associated with reductions in circulating levels of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) proteins myeloperoxidase and serpin E1 (PAI1) in older adults, and these proteins are linked to inflammation and thrombosis.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In older adults, physical activity is linked to lower levels of two blood proteins, myeloperoxidase and PAI1, which are involved in inflammation and blood clotting.
See the scientific wording
Exercise is associated with reductions in circulating levels of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) proteins myeloperoxidase and serpin E1 (PAI1) in older adults, which are linked to inflammation and thrombosis.
Physical activity triggers metabolic and stress signals in muscles and tissues that calm down aging immune cells, causing them to stop producing harmful inflammatory proteins. These proteins, once reduced in the blood, lower inflammation and the risk of blood clots.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Exercise reduces circulating biomarkers of cellular senescence in humans
This study found that when older adults exercised twice a week for 12 weeks, their blood levels of two harmful proteins—myeloperoxidase and PAI1—went down. These proteins are linked to inflammation and blood clots, so exercise may help reduce aging-related health risks by lowering them.
