Study Finds Organ Health May Predict Dementia, Cancer Later in Life

A study found that some organs can age faster than a person's actual age, increasing the risk of diseases like cancer and dementia.
Researchers analyzed blood samples from 6,235 participants in the long-running Whitehall II study.
Those with fast-aging organs showed a higher risk for 30 out of 45 age-related diseases evaluated.
Mika Kivimaki, the lead author, stated that organ-specific blood tests could identify early disease risks and guide care for particular organs.
