New Findings on Aging
Recent research reveals that human aging occurs in two significant bursts, around ages 44 and 60, contradicting the belief that aging is a gradual process. A study conducted by Stanford University examined thousands of molecules in the body, including RNA, proteins, and metabolites, to uncover these sudden changes. The results showed that 81% of the molecules analyzed underwent dramatic alterations during these age milestones, impacting various aspects of health, including metabolism and the risk of diseases like Alzheimer's and cardiovascular conditions. This research provides a new perspective on biological age, suggesting that individual health management should be prioritized during these key transition periods.
