The hallmarks of aging are the types of biochemical changes that occur in all organisms that experience biological aging and lead to a progressive loss of physiological integrity, impaired function and, eventually, death.
The scientists aren’t sure exactly what impact those changes have on health. Previous research showed that resting energy use, or metabolic rate, didn’t change from ages 20 to 60. The new ...
