  1. Nighttime heatwaves are associated with biological age acceleration in humans (β = 0.0147 years per exposure day, 95% CI 0.0094 to 0.0200).

Nighttime heatwaves linked to faster biological aging in China

In the follow-up analysis, each extra nighttime heatwave day was linked to 0.0147 years of greater biological age acceleration under one heatwave definition.In the follow-up analysis, each extra nighttime heatwave day was linked to 0.0147 years of greater biological age acceleration under one heatwave definition.
