Study links faster biological aging to early-onset cancers (opens in new tab)

A study published June 22 in Nature Medicine found that younger birth cohorts had higher biological age than earlier generations at comparable chronological ages, based on blood markers including PhenoAge and signs of tissue wear, inflammation and systemic aging. News accounts said the research used large population data from more than 160,000 people globally. Researchers said accelerated biological aging may help explain rising early-onset cancers, including lung, gastrointestinal, colorecta...
