New Findings on Aging

Recent research indicates that human aging may occur in two significant bursts at ages 44 and 60, challenging the belief that aging is a gradual process. Scientists analyzed thousands of molecules in the body, including RNA and proteins, discovering that 81% of them experience dramatic changes at these ages. This study highlights that biological aging differs from chronological aging, suggesting that an individual's biological age may not correspond with their actual years. Expectations around diseases like Alzheimer's and cardiovascular issues also shift, as the risk of these conditions rises sharply around these key ages.
