Molecular damage occurs to everyone and contributes to aging but in some people these molecular processes are more intense leading to accelerated aging.
Deep Longevity with US and Chinese scientists have found in a new study that being lonely, having restless sleep, or feeling unhappy increases pace of aging significantly.
The study has been published in Aging-US.
The article features a new aging clock trained and verified with blood and biometric data of 11,914 Chinese adults. This is the first aging clock to be trained exclusively on a Chinese cohort of such volume.
