Researchers are developing an $800 blood test that measures proteins to assess real-time organ health and aging, potentially revolutionizing personalized medicine and early disease detection, with some clinics already using similar tests to guide health interventions.
Stanford University researchers have discovered that aging occurs at different rates in different organs, challenging the traditional view of aging as a uniform process. This new understanding, termed "organ aging," suggests that our biological age can differ from our chronological age, with some organs aging faster or slower than others. This variability can influence disease risk and longevity, and lifestyle factors like diet and exercise may impact organ aging. The research opens possibilities for personalized health strategies based on one's "ageotype," or the specific aging pattern of their organs.
