The new research, published on Wednesday in Nature, identified about one in five healthy adults older than 50 years old as an extreme aging person with at least one organ aging at a highly accelerated rate, compared with a cohort of their peers.
Next the team measured the concentrations of thousands of proteins in a drop of blood and found that almost 900 of them about 18 percent of the proteins measured tended to be specific to a single organ.
