Insights on Comparing Dog Aging to Human Aging
Comparing dog aging to human aging shows differences in lifespan, biology, and health issues. While direct parallels cannot be drawn, studying dogs can provide insights due to their shorter lifespan, shared environment, and similar risk factors with humans. By observing changes in dogs from puppyhood to senior years, examining biological data, and correlating with environmental factors, researchers can potentially uncover clues about human aging, such as understanding cancer progression and its influencing factors.
