Stanford researchers reveal bodies age differently, categorizing individuals by aging rates of specific organs.

Researchers at Stanford University have found that different parts of the body age at varying rates, challenging the idea of uniform aging. By analyzing blood samples, they identified individuals as "heart agers," "brain agers," or "brain youthers," among others. Heart agers are more likely to develop heart failure, while brain youthers have an 80% lower risk of dementia. This discovery could lead to personalized health strategies to improve overall health and potentially extend lifespan.
