Amidst a worrying rise in cancer among younger people, new research has revealed that under-50s are ageing faster than previous generations.
Those born between 1965 and 1974 display higher biological age — wear and tear happening inside the body at a cellular and molecular level — than those born between 1950 and 1954, according to a recent study published in Nature Medicine.
The same was true for participants born between 1990 and 1999, who showed biological ageing greater than those born between 1965 and 1969.
