## Resource

Cancers diagnosed before age 50 increased 24% worldwide between 1990 and 2019, while younger generations also show signs of faster biological aging Biological age reflects the condition of your cells, tissues, and organ systems, giving you a more complete picture of your health than chronological age alone Faster biological aging was associated with higher risks of early-onset lung, gastrointestinal, and uterine cancers, although the strength of these links varied depending on how researchers measured aging Different parts of your body age at different rates, with faster immune system aging linked to early-onset lung cancer and accelerated fat tissue aging linked to early-onset colorectal cancer in an exploratory analysis Reducing seed oils and ultraprocessed foods, supporting cellular energy with adequate carbohydrates and protein, staying active, protecting your circadian rhythm, and limiting environmental toxin exposure help address factors associated with faster biological aging
