Our “biological age,” which reflects signs of age-related decline in our cells and tissues, doesn’t steadily increase along with our chronological age. Instead, new research suggests that biological aging can accelerate during stressful events and then reverse after those events.
In other words, there are measurable biological markers linked to age-related changes in cell function, and these markers can appear in times of stress and then disappear during recovery.
Scientists already knew that biological age’s relationship to chronological age was somewhat flexible. But now, researchers say they have uncovered the possibility of biological age reversal.
