Age 50 might be inflexion point after which ageing accelerates, blood vessels vulnerable: Study

NEW DELHI: Analysing samples of human tissues across five decades, researchers have found that age 50 might be an inflexion point, after which ageing accelerates — blood vessels age early and are markedly vulnerable, they said.

The findings, published in the journal Cell, add to evidence emerging from analysing proteins from humans to understand ageing processes, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences said.

A study published last year in August in the journal Nature Ageing showed that ages 44 and 60 might be when a human body experiences changes in molecules and microbes, significantly impacting heart and immune function.
