Cancer rates are rising in adults under 55, and new research suggests accelerated biological aging may be one piece of the puzzle. Scientists found that people from more recent generations tended to have bodies that appeared biologically older than those of earlier generations at the same chronological age. Greater biological age acceleration was linked to a higher risk of early onset cancers, with specific patterns seen for lung, gastrointestinal, uterine and colorectal cancers.
Notably, those born in the 1990s were also found to have approximately four times the risk of early-onset colorectal cancer compared to those born in the 1960s.
A recent study indicates that the increase in cancer rates in young adults may be related to accelerated biological aging. Researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis observed that...
