Scientists named the unexpected age when old age arrives

Scientists have discovered that the first signs of aging in the human body appear as early as 30 years old, and the turning point comes around 50 years of age.

As BAKU.WS reports with reference to the journal Cell, Chinese researchers came to these conclusions.

The study examined 516 tissue samples from 76 organ donors aged 14 to 68 years who died from traumatic brain injury. The analysis showed that the most pronounced changes occur between the ages of 45-55.

Blood vessels wear out the fastest, especially the aorta. With age, proteins associated with heart disease, liver disease, tissue fibrosis, and tumors accumulate in the body. Scientists paid special attention to the GAS6 protein, which is associated with aging, obesity, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, cancer, and even insulin resistance.

Researchers also note that different organs of the same person can age at different rates, and chronic diseases - heart failure, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - accelerate biological aging.

How to slow down aging:

• regular physical exercise;

• poultry and fatty fish in the diet;

• continuous learning and intellectual development.

At the same time, smoking, alcohol, smoked foods, processed meat, lack of sleep, and poor environmental conditions contribute to accelerated aging of the body.
