As the saying goes, smiling for ten years means that people have long known the impact of mental health on the aging process, but how can adverse psychological problems affect the process of accelerating aging?
Recently, a team of scientists from Hong Kong's Chinese University of Hong Kong and Stanford University in the United States found that , fragile mental health such as sadness and loneliness, can accelerate aging more than smoking. This means that psychological factors cannot be ignored by any anti-aging method. Related research has been published in the recent journal Aging. study found that emotions that affect mental health, such as sadness, loneliness, and pain, can make a person's physiological age grow older by 1.65 years. Smoking makes people's physiological age grow by 1.25 years, and insomnia leads to an increase in physiological age by 0.44 years.
person's age can be divided into chronological age and physiological age. Time-series age refers to the time a person actually spends, and physiological age refers to how old a person looks from physiological function. Many daily factors such as diet, exercise and mental state can affect a person's physiological age.
Hong Kong Shookang Group, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong , a new study by Stanford University found that emotions that affect mental health, such as sadness, loneliness, pain, etc., can make a person's physiological age grow 1.65 years old. The study also said that smoking makes the physiological age grow 1.25 years old, and insomnia leads to an increase in physiological age by 0.44 years old.
researchers said they proposed a new "aging clock" based on data from 4,846 Chinese adults collected in 2015. These data are from the China Health and Elderly Tracking Survey Research Project.
study data include 16 blood biomarkers, such as cholesterol , blood sugar levels, as well as other health information such as blood pressure, body mass index, lung function and gender. The researchers compared the time-series age of participants to the age of participants predicted by the “aging clock.” It was found that the predicted age of the subjects was about 5.6 years older than their actual age. The
research team also found that people with a history of stroke , liver disease or lung disease were predicted to be older than the remaining 4451 healthy adults.
Years ruthlessly make people grow old, and youth fades their spring sunshine in an instant. Aging is a fate that no one can escape, but some people age faster.
