The article discusses the difference between chronological and biological age, emphasizing that biological age is a better predictor of disease risk. A study published in The Lancet reveals that a simple blood test can determine if organs are aging faster than their chronological age, potentially predicting the risk of developing various age-related diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, and dementia. This research shows the interrelationship between the aging of different organs and highlights the importance of healthy genetics and lifestyle in mitigating disease risk.
A study over 20 years of more than 6,000 British adults recently published in The Lancet concluded that a quick and simple blood test can identify organ aging.
This study is the first to demonstrate that organ aging, indicated by distinctive plasma protein signatures, is associated with the risk of age-related diseases decades before their onset.
Mika Kivimaki explains that accelerated aging of several organs significantly multiplies the risk of developing multiple age-related diseases.
A heart that has aged faster than it should have is a significant predictor of an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
