flag Regularly dealing with stressful family members may accelerate aging by nearly a year per person, a new study finds.

flag A new study of 2,345 adults finds that regularly interacting with stressful or difficult people—especially family members—accelerates biological aging, adding about nine months per hassler. flag Chronic exposure to high-stress relationships increases physiological wear and tear, a key marker of aging, and may raise the risk of early death. flag While negative relationships with spouses didn’t show the same effect, those with parents or children were more impactful and harder to escape. flag The research highlights social stress as a significant, underrecognized factor in aging, suggesting that reducing contact with toxic individuals could promote healthier aging.
