- The Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, has launched a large-scale study called BHARAT.
- BHARAT stands for Biomarkers of Healthy Aging, Resilience, Adversity, and Transitions.
- It is part of India’s Longevity India Program to study aging.
- The goal is to find physical, molecular, and environmental signs that affect ageing in Indians.
- The Researchers are creating India’s first detailed aging database called Bharat Baseline.
- Biomarkers are measurable biological signs, like genes, proteins, and chemicals in the body.
- This study will help to challenge Western standards that label many Indians as deficient in vitamin D, B12, or cholesterol.
- The database will help improve disease diagnosis, treatment, and drug design tailored to Indians.
