flag Prolonged exposure to heat accelerates aging, similar to smoking and drinking, study finds.

flag A new study in Science Advances finds that prolonged exposure to heat can accelerate aging similarly to smoking and drinking. flag People living in hot areas like Phoenix appear to age biologically faster than those in cooler places like Seattle, with impacts on long-term health including dementia and cardiovascular issues. flag The study tracks biological age through DNA changes after heat exposure and suggests that climate change could increase extreme heat days, raising health risks for aging populations.
