Wang Bin, director and chief physician of Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said in an interview a few days ago that men are prone to "cliff aging" at two time nodes.
The first is the age of 25: youthful vitality is sharply reduced, and fatigue is gradually revealed. Lifestyle changes for 25-year-old men as they enter society. Increased pressure at work and life, reduced exercise, irregular diet, staying up late and other unhealthy Xi habits will lead to a decline in men's overall health.
The second is 40 years old: kidney deficiency is an important factor in aging. Androgen levels in men decline significantly after the age of 40, which will lead to a variety of psychological and physiological changes, such as relaxation, fat gain, decreased energy and physical strength, decreased aggressiveness, etc., which will affect men's self-confidence and psychological state. "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" records that after the age of 40, men "five or eight, kidney qi failure, hair and fallen teeth", believes that men begin to have hair loss and other problems at the age of 40, and kidney deficiency is an important factor leading to aging.
In addition, an article published in July 2023 in a sub-journal of the journal Cell showed that the aging clock of Chinese women is different from that of men. First of all, around the age of 30, the aging changes in women are mainly manifested in the accumulation of lipids at metabolic levels and the decrease in steroids. Secondly, at the age of 50, the aging process of women undergoes drastic changes at multiple levels such as organs, cells and molecules, including a sharp rise or fall in a variety of indicators highly correlated with aging.
