Researchers Tracked Biological Aging for Decades and Found a Striking Pattern in Women

Researchers tracked biological aging for decades and found a striking pattern in women

Accelerated biological age in midlife was associated with higher risks of cardiovascular disease and death in both men and women over nearly three decades of follow-up. Women with accelerated biological age also showed a higher risk of dementia, although adding biological age to standard risk factors provided only minimal additional predictive value.

Your Astrocytes Have Their Own Birthday, and for Some People It Decides Whether APOE4 Becomes Alzheimer's

A Stanford-led study built aging clocks for 40+ cell types from blood. Youthful astrocytes tracked with far lower Alzheimer's risk.

How You Can Tell What Your Biological Age Is — and Which Tests Matter

If you have wondered how you can tell what your biological age is, there is one mildly inconvenient answer: no single number can inspect the machinery, stamp a date on it and declare you 57 despite the candles insisting otherwise. Biological age is an estimate of how the body appears to be ageing internally, and it makes most sense alongside measures such as waist size, blood pressure, blood sugar, body composition, fitness and lifestyle — not a…
