Do 1990s birth trends age faster
A new study from the University of Washington indicates that younger generations are aging biologically at a faster rate than previous ones. This may explain the rising rates of early-onset cancers before the age of 55. The study showed that individuals born in recent decades exhibit higher markers of physical aging compared to their counterparts from earlier generations, which strengthens the link between increased biological age and a greater risk of developing cancers such as lung, gastrointestinal, and uterine cancers by 8-15%. This risk is particularly pronounced in organs that age more rapidly. The contributing factors include obesity, metabolic disorders, lack of activity, and modern lifestyle patterns. Researchers hope that biological age indicators can help identify individuals at higher risk of cancer before symptoms appear, aiming to develop preventive strategies and early screening methods.
