Nonlinear dynamics of multi-omics profiles during human aging - Nature Aging (www.nature.com)
submitted 2 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
0 comments fedilink
 
 

The study indicates that human aging happens in two accelerated bursts, at ages 44 and 60. Most molecules studied showed non-linear changes at these ages. These changes are associated with reduced ability to metabolize caffeine and alcohol, muscle injuries, fat accumulation, and increased susceptibility to cardiovascular disorders, kidney issues, and type 2 diabetes. The study suggests making lifestyle changes like drinking less alcohol and exercising more when nearing these ages.
