We often think of aging in terms of birthdays and calendar years.
But a fascinating new study from Washington University School of Medicine shows that biological age—how old your body actually behaves—tells a much bigger story about our health.
Researchers found that younger generations may be aging faster biologically, which is linked to a higher risk of early-onset cancers.
The empowering takeaway? Independent of the DNA you were born with, lifestyle and environment play a role. You can’t change your birthday, but you can take steps to influence your biological clock.
