40s and 60s age periods feature rapid biomolecule and microbe shifts in human body, according to Stanford Medicine research.

A study from Stanford Medicine reveals that significant shifts in biomolecules and microbes occur during the 40s and 60s, rather than gradually over time. The research, published in Nature Aging, found two major periods of rapid change in participants' biology around age 44 and 60, regardless of the class of molecules being examined. The findings suggest that attention to health is particularly important during mid-40s and early 60s as these periods of rapid change may be linked to an increased risk of age-related diseases.
