Men in Their 50s May Be Aging Faster than Women Due to Toxic ‘Forever Chemicals’

Study: Forever chemicals speed up AGING in middle-aged men

A new study in Frontiers in Aging found that two PFAS chemicals (PFNA and PFOSA) strongly correlate with accelerated biological aging in men aged 50 to 64, measured via DNA methylation (epigenetic aging). Women and older men did not show the same effect. PFAS – used in nonstick cookware, waterproof clothing, food packaging and firefighting […]

PFAS exposure linked to accelerated biological ageing in middle-aged men

A new US study links certain PFAS chemicals to faster biological ageing in middle-aged men. Find out more now.

‘Forever chemicals’ may speed up aging in middle-aged men

Chemicals known as PFAS, often called “forever chemicals,” are found in many everyday products, from non-stick cookware and waterproof clothing to food packaging and cleaning supplies. These substances are extremely durable because their chemical bonds are very strong, which means they do not break down easily in the environment or the human body. Over time, […] The post ‘Forever chemicals’ may speed up aging in middle-aged men appeared first on…

Men in their 50s may be aging faster than women due to toxic ‘forever chemicals’

The “forever chemicals” known as PFAS appear to be aging men faster in their 50s and early 60s, a new study found.

Can PFAS speed up biological aging?

Evidence links certain PFAS to faster molecular aging A growing body of epidemiological research has associated exposure to some per‑ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) with markers of accelerated biological aging. Recent studies singled out two compounds—PFNA and PFOSA (a PFOA precursor)—as…
