flag Anxiety about future health decline links to faster biological aging in women, per a NYU study.

flag A New York University study links anxiety about aging, especially fears of future health decline, to faster biological aging in women, as measured by epigenetic clocks in blood samples from 726 participants. flag Higher anxiety was tied to accelerated cellular aging, particularly when focused on health, not appearance or fertility. flag The cross-sectional design limits causal conclusions, and the association weakened after accounting for smoking and alcohol use. flag Researchers say mental health concerns related to aging may influence physical health and call for further study and broader conversations about aging experiences.
