A new study shows that people under 50 age faster at the cellular and molecular level than previous generations, a phenomenon that researchers call “accelerated aging.”
According to this study, people born between the 1960s and 1990s have a higher biological age and greater physical deterioration than previous generations, an issue that could be linked to the worrying increase in cancer incidence at a young age.
The study also shows that cancer rates in people under 50 have increased by about 79 percent since 1990.
Experts consider factors such as lifestyle, environmental pollution, obesity, and consumption of unnatural processed foods to be the most important factors in this trend.
