Nineties-born May Age Faster
A study from the University of Washington has revealed that younger generations are experiencing biological aging at a faster rate than previous generations, increasing the risk of early-onset cancer before age 55. The use of biological markers showed that individuals born between 1965 and 1974 have a higher biological age compared to those born in earlier years. An increase in biological age was associated with an 8% rise in the risk of early cancer and a 15% increase for solid tumors. The researchers confirmed that factors such as obesity, metabolic disorders, and lack of physical activity influence accelerated aging. They aim to use biological age indicators for early detection of individuals most at risk for cancer and to develop preventive strategies.
