Human organs age at different rates, just as cars and houses age at different rates. But how do you measure the degree of aging of human organs and the associated disease risk?Recently, a research team from Stanford University in the United States published a biological science article in the journal Nature, proposing for the first time a new blood test method that can analyze the aging of human organs and better improve the risk of disease and the impact of aging. The research team investigated and analyzed more than 5,000 people and found that nearly 20% of them showed a significant acceleration of the aging of an organ, which may have organ-specific diseases or an increased risk of death.
Previous studies have focused on animals, while the aging of human organs and their impact on aging-related diseases are unclear. The study measures differences in aging across organs by assessing the levels of human plasma proteins from specific organs. Using a machine Xi model, the research team analysed the aging of 11 major organs in 5,676 adults over the course of their life cycle. They found that 20% of people showed an accelerated aging of an organ,17% showed multi-organ aging. Studies have also found that accelerated organ aging increases the risk of death by 20%-50%, and specific organ diseases are associated with faster organ aging. For example, individuals with accelerated heart aging have a 250% increased risk of heart failure. In addition, accelerated aging of the brain and blood vessels can lead to the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
The importance of this study lies in the fact that it provides a new way for people to monitor and ** the aging of human organs so that they can intervene before they get sick. In addition, the research is also expected to bring new drug targets to humans. By monitoring the condition of various organs in ostensibly healthy people, we can discover the organs in their body that are aging at an accelerated pace and take corresponding measures to prevent and ** related diseases. This discovery is expected to be reproduced in a much larger population and bring new breakthroughs to human health and healthcare.
