Accelerated aging is testing that uses aggravated conditions of heat, humidity, oxygen, sunlight, vibration, etc. to speed up the normal aging processes of items. It is used to help determine the long-term effects of expected levels of stress within a shorter time, usually in a laboratory by controlled standard test methods .
More on aging well and living longer: The key to a long life is avoiding the 'poisonous 5 P's,' says one of the world's top anti-aging experts You might be overdoing it on protein and not getting ...
Here, doctors offer their best tips for how to stave off the accelerated aging as you approach those important ages. Meet the experts: Keri Peterson, MD, is an internal medicine physician based in ...
People who consume a lot of ultra-processed foods experience faster rates of biological aging, a recent study has found.
Rare human mutations can cause accelerated aging diseases. Environmental factors may affect aging – for example, overexposure to ultraviolet radiation accelerates skin aging. Different parts of the body may age at different rates and distinctly, including the brain, the cardiovascular system, and muscle.
The clinical manifestations of accelerated aging suggest that trisomy 21 increases the biological age of tissues, but molecular evidence for this hypothesis has been sparse. According to the epigenetic clock, trisomy 21 significantly increases the age of blood and brain tissue (on average by 6.6 years). [55]
Researchers looking for clues to why some types of cancer are on the rise in younger adults say they’ve found an interesting lead — a connection to accelerated biological aging.
Environmental factors and genetic mutations can influence gene expression and accelerate aging. More recently epigenetics have been explored as a contributing factor. The epigenetic clock , which relatively objectively measures the biological age of cells, are useful tool for testing different anti-aging approaches. [ 34 ]
