Their research explains why people of a certain age who aren’t yet old experience sudden spikes in health problems. According to geneticists at Stanford University, the sudden appearance of wrinkles, complaints of body aches and a general feeling of fatigue, as if they’ve aged overnight, has a scientific explanation. Their research shows that aging occurs in two accelerated spikes in the fifth decade and after 60.
American geneticists analyzed thousands of different molecules in people aged 25 to 75 and discovered these two main waves of age-related changes. The results, among other things, explain why most people develop serious health problems at this time, including diseases such as various pathologies of the musculoskeletal system and the cardiovascular system.
The author of this scientific theory, Prof. Michael Snyder, a geneticist and director of the Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine at Stanford University, is convinced that during these periods of time we not only change our appearance, but serious, sometimes dramatic, changes occur in us.
