> By far the most important thing in anti aging that checks all boxes is excercise and getting nutrition right (no excess fat).

Do you mean "don't eat excess fat" or "don't have excess fat on your body"? It's not clear to me from the context.

Second probably.
Definately. The optimal body fat percantage is at about 12% for men and 15% for women, but I can't find a study that really tries to find that optimum.

There have been already studies showing that body fat percentage is a better predictor of mortality than BMI, but most studies focused on BMI in the past, as it's easier to measure.
