Humans Age Rapidly in Two Bursts

September 16, 2024
Thanks to a new study, we’ve discovered the two ages when our bodies age the fastest.
the details
A new study has found that the human body doesn't age at a steady rate during middle age. Instead, it goes through two major bursts of rapid aging, typically around age 44 and again at age 60.

Scientists find that humans age dramatically in two birth sister.
00:03
What ages do you think they are?
00:05
maybe two because,
00:06
you know, the kids,
00:07
like, they age fast.
00:08
That makes sense. And then maybe like late thirties,
00:13
perhaps thirties. Ok.
00:15
That's a good enough gap.
00:16
All right. Well,
00:17
according to a study which observed molecular levels in people aged 25
00:21
to 75 it detected two major age related changes around 44 and
00:28
again, at 60 I thought it'd be younger too.
00:31
Like, you know,
00:31
again, like he,
00:32
like you said, two,
00:33
maybe like the kids changing going,
00:36
maybe even like the teenage years.
00:38
But no, apparently 44 and 60 the solution.
00:42
There is obvious. What's the solution don't live past 43?
00:45
This, there is a family show,
00:48
you have to deal with it,
00:49
I guess. But it's like,
00:50
I thought aging was beautiful and that's part of life.
00:53
And I know, I don't know,
00:55
but things are really too expensive right now.
00:57
I can't even buy a house.
00:59
I don't even have a person.
01:01
I'm just kidding. I'm joking.
01:05
And it's crazy because the scientists also found that human does not
01:08
happen in a gradual linear way,
01:10
rather the majority of the molecules that they studied showed accelerated nonlinear
01:15
changes at the ages mentioned.
01:17
So, you know,
01:18
it didn't go slow.
01:20
It was like bam,
01:20
it's like, hey,
01:21
yo, what's up?
01:22
44? And like you're old and you know like OK,
01:26
cool, like damn,
01:28
I've changed and then was it at 60?
01:31
You wake up look even worse.
01:35
You just unlocked a new fear in me.
01:37
But also, I mean,
01:39
people age at different rates,
01:40
brother, they do sister.
01:42
But if you think about it being in the world of memes
01:44
have you seen those memes where it's like,
01:46
yo, like for example,
01:47
Latinas be looking good and then they hit a freaking age where
01:52
they're just like bam Senora status.
01:54
All little Alita. Yeah,
01:55
it's like this kind of like the scientific,
01:58
scientific. Well, you know what brother lifestyle has a lot
02:00
to do with it.
02:01
If you go out clubbing,
02:03
pounding buzz balls every weekend,
02:06
getting your back broken,
02:09
your back broken, I'll let you interpret that the way that
02:12
you want to interpret it.
02:13
Like you're going to have a bigger age burst how they say
02:16
you're going to have a bigger back but that too,
02:18
that too. But yeah,
02:22
it's crazy because it's like it's a countdown,
02:23
right? It's again,
02:24
all the life, all these factors affect you.
02:26
Obviously the twisted t ain't helping but 44.
02:30
All right. So we still have time.
02:31
We have time. It's 44 and six.
