Study Reveals Uneven Aging Rates Across the Human Body

New research reveals that different parts of the body age at varying rates, leading to unique 'biological ages' for each organ. This discovery, facilitated by tools like 'aging clocks' that analyze protein markers, suggests that while one organ may age prematurely, others may remain youthful. The implications are significant, as early aging in organs like the heart or brain can increase risks of diseases such as heart failure and Alzheimer's. Understanding these patterns could lead to targeted treatments to slow aging and improve overall health and longevity.
