3 Reasons You Age Faster in Your 60s.

New research suggests an aging “burst” takes place during this milestone decade.

By Kimberly Goad, AARP. Published September 13, 2024.

Recent research published in the journal Nature Aging suggests that much of the aging process isn’t gradual. Instead, it occurs in two bursts: once in your mid-40s and again at age 60. It’s during these times that our body’s molecules and microorganisms go through two massive shifts, researchers from Stanford Medicine discovered, and these changes likely influence our health.
