Organ and Cellular Biological Age Predicts Disease Risk and Longevity, Study Finds

The traditional birthday cake, speckled with candles that mark the passing years, belies a deeper truth about aging—one that is far less visible yet profoundly more accurate. While...

Remembrance of things past: Towards a life-course biology of aging

by Sara Alam, Linda Partridge, Nazif Alic Globally, the growing proportion of older individuals is imposing personal and societal costs. However, interventions that slow aging are...

A Newly Found Cellular Shift May Explain Why Aging Leads to Disease

Scientists found that aging may begin with a hidden cellular remodel that could help drive disease later in life. Thanks to advances in public health, people are living longer than...

7 Bio-Age Indicators: Why Cellular Health Is Becoming a Bigger Talking Point in 2026 Senior Wellness

Biological age is becoming critically important to gauge a person’s overall health. It is a more accurate predictor of disease risk, healthspan (years lived disease-free),...

Accelerated Biological Aging Drives Early-Onset Cancer Risk

Younger birth cohorts exhibit significantly accelerated biological aging compared to older generations. This widening age gap correlates with an 8% to 15% increased risk of early-o...

Biological Aging May Be Driving Increased Early-Onset Cancer

A new study links accelerated aging to early-onset solid cancers, while showing that this gap is becoming wider with each new generation [1]. Why do more young people get cancer? W...

People Born After 1969 Seem To Be Ageing More Quickly

You might think that lifespans are getting longer and longer, but some experts think they’ve peaked. (In fact, UK life expectancies have dipped since the pandemic.)And according to...

Relationships Between Socioeconomic Status, Life Expectancy, and Epigenetic Age

As yet the life sciences have provided no way to definitively, robustly measure biological age in an individual. In part this stems from a lack of consensus as to a useful definiti...

Germ Cells Influence the Pace of Aging Differently by Sex

No part of the body is truly isolated; all organs, systems, and cell populations interact with all of the others in various ways. Cells secrete and take up countless varieties of m...

Social Inequality Accelerates Biological Aging

A new study synthesizes 1,065 effect sizes across 140 independent studies to prove that social disadvantage accelerates biological aging within the epigenome.

Structured Programs Physically Slow Down Biological Aging

A new study reveals that structured, multi-domain lifestyle interventions directly slow critical aspects of biological aging.

New Research Says This Everyday Exposure Drives Faster Biological Aging

Researchers identified a surprising factor that may accelerate how quickly we biologically age.

6 Reasons Biological Age Tracking Is Becoming a Major 2026 Health Trend for Older Adults

Many older adults are beginning to realize that the number on their birthday cake may not tell the full story about their health. Biological age...

'Selection shadow' may explain why longer lives bring more age-related disease

A review article now published in Nature Reviews Genetics brings together evolutionary theory, comparative genomics and large-scale human genetics to explain why we age and why agi...

From germline immortality to somatic rejuvenation: Unlocking the ovarian blueprint for longevity

by Priscila Chiavellini, Vittorio Sebastiano Aging is typically framed as a one-way, irreversible accumulation of molecular damage in cells and tissues, leading to progressive fun...

Faster Biological Aging May Help Explain Why More Younger Adults Are Getting Cancer

Learn more about how younger generations are now aging faster than their parents and grandparents, and how this aging gap could explain the rise in early-onset cancers.

Dietary Change Can Shift the Klemera-Doubal Method Aging Clock by a Few Years

The primarily alternative to epigenetic clocks and other omics clocks to assess biological age is the use of aging clocks constructed from clinical chemistry, physical, and other s...
