The new study reports, published Monday, Jan. 13 in
168SLOTXOthe journal Nature Medicine, by Stanford researchers. Aimed to study in-depth about the human aging process at the molecular level. Trying to find out that Why does each of us have the same rapid aging process?
It also set a goal that One day we will be able to intervene or influence this process. By using drugs or lifestyle changes that are suitable
The researchers followed a study of 43 subjects aged 34 to 68 years for two years. By collecting blood and feces samples to study chemicals that help identify or biomarkers of the body.
Doctors have known for a long time that when people get older, The level of certain indicators will change, such as increased cholesterol. Increased functions of certain microbiological functions in the intestinal system. As well as having more fats and proteins
And from this study, the researchers pointed out that People have at least four aspects or patterns of aging that are expressed or reflected. Or four channels Which is not limited to the wrinkled face or skin only
Windows that help reflect the aging process are:
The process of digestion and metabolism
The immune system
Liver function
Kidney function
For example, a person with a degenerative body metabolism is likely to develop diabetes. People with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to infection or get sick, while those with weak liver and kidneys have problems with these diseases. As a result, the physical health is impaired and leads to the decline of the overall state of mind, etc.
However, the researchers explain that individuals are not limited to just one channel or process of aging. Because some people may have more than one path of the decline of the body.
But a team of Stanford researchers say If we know and understand how our pattern of decline occurs and manifests itself through it. This could be helpful, and it would be an opportunity for us to try to control, manipulate, modify, or try to slow down the aging process.
Scientists hope that the information and knowledge they can gain from further study of the mechanism of aging and why it is. This will enable the process to eventually be designed to slow aging that is appropriate for each individual.
