At what age does rapid aging occur? The surprising periods of biological change
According to a 2024 Stanford Medicine study published in *Nature Aging*, we undergo two periods of rapid biological aging, averaging around age 44 and again at age 60. While the notion of aging as a gradual, chronological march is common, groundbreaking research reveals that biological aging is anything but constant, with significant biomolecular shifts affecting various bodily functions occurring during these key inflection points.
