Do you think aging is inevitable? Actually, the current standard view is that the rate of aging can be controlled. Let's take a closer look.

 

Even at the same age, the rate of aging is not the same.

 

Have you ever noticed that among classmates you meet after a long time, some look so youthful you can't believe they're the same age, while others seem to have aged considerably?

 

This is the difference between chronological age and biological age. Even if people are the same age, their rates of aging differ.

 

A large-scale aging study based on the "Dunedin Study," published in 2020, has also revealed that the rate of aging varies from person to person.

 

This study tracked the health of over 1,000 individuals born in 1972 from ages 26 to 45. It measured detailed metrics such as physical function, dental health, and cholesterol levels to calculate how much their biological age progressed each year. The results revealed that while some participants aged only 0.4 years biologically per year, others aged more than two years.

 

On average, the results show that aging progressed by 1.2 years per year, indicating that aging steadily advances little by little starting from a young age.

What is the relationship between aging speed and appearance?

 

 

The relationship between aging speed and appearance is also something that concerns us, isn't it?

 

According to the "Dunedin Study," research on individuals who were aging faster than their peers by age 45 revealed that many reported being perceived as older than their actual age. This indicates that appearance is linked to biological age rather than chronological age, and that faster aging rates have a visible impact.

In other words, looking older is also a characteristic of people who age quickly. Conversely, people who don't age show common traits such as maintaining skin elasticity and a healthy physique.

 

If you want to look young and stay beautiful forever, it's important to aim for biological rejuvenation.

 

Environmental factors play a significant role in determining lifespan.

 

Some people might think, "It must be genetic," hearing phrases like "My family has a long history of longevity" or "My family tends to have shorter lifespans." Of course, a certain number of people do pass away from genetic diseases. However, it's understood that environmental factors like lifestyle have a greater impact on determining lifespan than genetic factors.

A Danish research team compared the causes of death among 2,872 pairs of identical and fraternal twins born between 1870 and 1900. They investigated whether individuals sharing the same genetic makeup would have different lifespans due to differing environmental factors. The results showed that approximately 25% died due to genetic factors, while about 75% died due to environmental factors. This indicates environmental factors play a significant role. Furthermore, among those who died before age 60, almost none died due to genetic factors.

In other words, by improving your lifestyle habits, you may be able to extend your lifespan.

 

The rate of aging can be controlled! Key lifestyle points to slow down the aging process: 

 

Aging progresses through the complex interplay of genetic factors and lifestyle habits. The reason why the rate of aging varies from person to person is because various factors work together in a complex way.

 

While genetic factors cannot be changed, lifestyle habits depend on daily choices. The rate of aging can be controlled to some extent by reevaluating one's daily life.

 

People who age slowly tend to lead regular lifestyles, including balanced diets, moderate exercise, and sufficient sleep. They also need to be mindful of factors ranked high among causes of aging, such as smoking, excessive drinking, and obesity.

 

Our goal is healthy, enjoyable longevity!

 

Globally, the concept that "aging is a disease and can be treated" is becoming the standard. Therefore, the concept of longevity—meaning living a long, healthy, and enjoyable life—will be increasingly emphasized.

 

How you live holds profound significance for your future self. Consciously adopting a lifestyle that slows the aging process from a young age is the first step toward longevity.
