Faster biological aging linked to heart disease and death
Accelerated biological aging was linked to 2.3-fold higher relative death risk in men and 1.8-fold higher risk in women, compared with slower biological aging.Accelerated biological aging was linked to 2.3-fold higher relative death risk in men and 1.8-fold higher risk in women, compared with slower biological aging.
