Young Australians ageing faster at cellular level
New international research suggests people in their 30s and 40s may be ageing faster at a cellular level than previous generations, showing signs of increased wear and tear and inflammation. Scientists believe stress, environmental factors, lifestyle changes, obesity and microplastics could be driving this accelerated ageing process. The findings may help explain the alarming rise in cancer diagnoses among younger Australians, with patients now campaigning for earlier screening and greater awareness.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
