Human organs age at different rates

0

Our organs age at different rates regardless of our overall health . At the same time, there is a correlation between the age of a healthy intestine and kidneys, as shown by a study by scientists from the Genomic Institute in Beijing.

Chinese researchers found out that the biological age of human organs varies significantly within the same body. In other words, organs age at different rates.

And this difference can be extremely significant, and therefore the concept of biological age, which differs from passport age, is largely based on false premises. The authors of the concept are based on the idea that stress, the level of sports training and other life factors can either slow down or accelerate biological aging.

In general, the age of a person is now perceived as an indicator of the entire state of the body, although researchers now insist in that its parts must be characterized differently.

These are the results of studying information from more than 4,000 people aged 20 to 45. Each volunteer passed blood tests, stool tests, went through personal examinations and evaluation skin conditions. Using the collected information, the researchers determined the expected age for the kidneys, heart, liver, sex hormones, skin, and intestines.

They also determined the age of a person's physical, immune, and genomic health based on the results. The obtained conclusions were divided into 9 categories of health of different body systems.

Biomarkers from blood and stool were used. The most significant correlation was found between sex hormones and kidney age. Also, these hormones were correlated with the immune system. Other notable correlations include the health of the kidneys and the immune system.
