The human body doesn’t age steadily throughout middle age and instead goes through bursts of rapid aging typically at around age 44 and again at 60, according to a new study published Wednesday in the academic journal Nature Aging.
Stanford University researchers tracked age-related changes in more than 135,000 types of molecules and microbes in samples collected every three to six months from more than 100 adults between the ages of 25 and 75 years old.
Researchers gathered more than 5,400 blood, stool, skin nasal swab and oral swabs as part of the study, and as a result were able to track more than 135,000 different kinds of chemical compounds, bacteria and cell parts affected by aging.
Scientists found the abundance of these molecules and microbes did not change steadily over time but rather increased and decreased rapidly around two ages — first around the onset of a person’s 40s and again in their 60s.

Commissar Walz doubled down on those bursts.
Or as I like to refer to him.....timaaaaaaaaaay! Ala south park!
Combat took its toll on Tampon Timmie. Artillery fire, gun toting in the jungles and deserts, no wonder he suffered fro PTSD.
For men; drink 15 gallons of water a month along with sex 21 times a month, and you’re good to go!
Sixty hit Tim Walz very hard.
The key is to keep a positive attitude!
Turn 61 in three weeks.
No wrinkles
BP fine
Glucose fine
Good gawd.
I thought you were already 100
I’m pretty sure I hit it at 50. Granted cancer / chemo at 37 and neurological esophageal issues in my 20snhave taken a toll. At 55/56 I’m worn out. I wish it was different but the good Lord never gives us more than we can burden. 20 years ago, I wouldn’t even be here. So Gob bless the inquisitive mind and the ability to learn that God has given man.
Man, I turn 61 in a few weeks and I’ve run into people 10 years younger than me that look like my unlce’s age.
Then again, I walked into the house 5 years ago and an old man was laying on the couch.
Never seen him before so, I introduced myself.
Shaking hands he responded “Hi, I’m *...*”
I walked off and suddenly thought “WTF?”
Went back and told *...* I was really tired and didn’t mean to walk off so abruptly
He is my brother’s high school friend and we use to chase girls together.
He looked way older and than me.
Couldn’t believe it.
Always thought he should be model....
Evil ages many a politician.
Since covid, I am immediately suspicious of anything that starts out with “Studies show” or “Studies indicate” or “Studies reveal”. Blah, blah, blah. I’m 74, still cut and split firewood, mow my own lawn, whack my own weeds, shop, cook, and enjoy a good bourbon. My hair is snow white, but I have plenty of it, and no wrinkles. If I died my air, I could pass for 50, no problem. Stick your “studies” where the sun don’t shine. We’re not all alike, and that’s a good thing.
Define rapid.
It really does. Look at how grey Obummer got. Biden was already old, but got really old fast as our puppet president. Two of the most evil.
I looked my best between 45-50. But, I was a late bloomer so always looked younger.
After my bone marrow transplant for aml at 50, the aging happened fast.
Details, details.
I am in my 70s and the only thing I can add to this discussion is that “old age” sort of just creeps up on you.
You don’t know when it starts but at some point you discover you can no longer do things you used to do (like running, or long walks, or working on a project all day). It does not happen all at once. Just little things until you realize you are old. Strange thing to say, but your mind plays tricks on you. I don’t know how long it was before I discovered I was no longer a teenager follow by the discovery I am no longer a middle age man.
I am an old man in an old body. I still walk every day, and still work in my garden but the walks are not as long and my time in the garden is more time resting between doing something.
To be honest I never thought I would live past 18 (Vietnam infantryman) so every year I have had since has been a bonus so I will wear this old body with pride until we move on to the next stage ...
Now you know its imminent.
Bexause God is merciful.
The days hurricanes are present, you’re out kiteboarding :)
Easy way to get from Tampa to Orlando then...
