Which Part Of The Human Body Ages The Fastest, Scientists Have Learned. Scientists believe that a blood test can measure how fast a person's internal organs are aging and predict which organs will stop working sooner.
This study was conducted by researchers from Stanford University in the United States. The Stanford University team says they can monitor the health of 11 body organs, including the heart, brain, and lungs.
Research published in the journal Nature revealed that one in five healthy adults over the age of 50 has at least one organ that is aging rapidly, meaning that within the next 15 years, They have a higher risk of developing disease in one of their organs.
And one or two out of every 100 people have multiple organs older than their birthday. Although the results of this study may be disturbing to some, it is clinically important, the researchers say.
Human age increases in two ways, the first is the age according to which you celebrate your birthday and the second age depends on your health which is called 'biological age', scientists can tell by studying the biological signs in your body. What is your biological age?
Stanford Medicine researchers tried to find out what is the biological age of these people in addition to their actual age, for this the researchers studied the proteins in the blood of these people.
The researchers also used machine learning algorithms using blood test results and patient data. Just as a person can die from a heart attack, the risk of dementia can increase if the muscles of the brain are aging rapidly.
The team of researchers tested blood from 11 major organs, including the heart, brain, fat, lungs, immune system, liver, muscles, pancreas, vasculature and intestines. The research revealed that one or more organs of the human body may be at risk of serious diseases during the next 15 years.
The findings showed that 18.4 percent of people age 50 and older had at least one organ aging rapidly, said Dr. Tony Wiss, a professor of neurology at Stanford and author. These individuals have a higher risk of developing disease in that particular organ over the next 15 years, he said. "If we do this research on a larger scale, we may be able to treat people before they get sick," says Dr. Tony Wiss.
