A team led by researchers from the University College of London in the United Kingdom has concluded that a blood test to detect the biological age of the organs can predict the risk of health conditions of years, or even decades later.
It was noted by their study, which was published in The Lancet Digital Health, that the faster aging of a specific organ increases the probability of diseases affecting the whole body, reported Medical news today.
The certified interventional cardiologist certified Cheng-Han Chen, who was not involved in this research, explained for Medical news today That people who had age differences in larger organs were at risk of developing diseases later in life.
For example, a higher cardiac age gap was linked to a higher risk of heart disease later in life.
However, researchers also found that advanced aging in a specific organ has increased the risk of multi-organization diseases, and that rapid aging in more than one organ has increased the risk of disease in a single organ.
In addition, the effects of cell aging were widespread, with faster age organs associated with greater mortality.
The public health professor at the state University of New Mexico Jagdish Khubchandani, who is not involved in this study, explained how the bodies could affect each other.
“For me, the most interesting conclusion was to know how the aging of an organ affects the probability of the disease and the aging of other organs,” he said Medical news today.
“It makes sense because these organ functions are displayed each other,” said Khubchandani.
He added: “In addition, there are shared immune, genetic, vascular and inflammatory mechanisms. But, from the practice of practice, these interrelations will make preventive practice and the development of difficult therapy. However, it was a very necessary survey with many discoveries.”
Age differences, which were observed in the immune system, were strongly associated with the subsequent development of dementia as well as a rapid aging intestine was the strongest risk factor in Parkinson’s disease.
