Study shows that human aging progresses dramatically around age 44 and 60. Is the aging rate a staircase rather than a straight line?
【Human aging is found to occur dramatically in two stages, “around 44” and “around 60”.】

∙ A team of researchers from Stanford University has found that “humans do not age gradually at a constant rate, but rather there are two points in their lives when they begin to age rapidly.
・Participants provided blood, stool, skin, oral, and nasal samples every few months over a period of one to seven years. The team analyzed 135,000 RNAs, proteins, metabolites, bacteria, viruses, and fungi from the samples provided and tracked how the amounts of these molecules and microbes changed
・They found that the most pronounced changes occurred around age 44 and around age 60.
・The study found that around age 44, there were significant changes in the amounts of molecules related to caffeine, alcohol, lipid metabolism, and cardiovascular disease. Also, around age 60, changes appeared in the amounts of molecules related to immunity, carbohydrate metabolism, and renal function. In addition, changes were observed in molecules related to skin and muscle aging, both around age 44 and around age 60
The above is a quote from the article
Aging speed is not a straight line but a staircase?
Reading the above article reminded me of the following blog I wrote in the past
【The rate of aging shifts at an accelerated rate in three stages: 34, 60, and 78 years of age (study results).】

This is also from Stanford University, but in this study,
found that there are three shift changes in the rate of aging: age 34, age 60, and age 78.
This study, though, was the result of looking at proteins related to aging in the blood,
This study above looked at numerous other factors besides blood, including stool, skin, oral cavity, nasal cavity, etc., so in that respect, this study may be more reliable.
Aging accelerates dramatically around age 44 and around age 60.
Does it feel like accelerated aging, or like a gulp?
I am just 44 years old.
I don’t know if the research data is correct or not, but I have been suffering from unexplained shoulder pain for the past six months.
It is what is called “forty shoulder pain.
After a checkup at the hospital, there is nothing wrong with my bones, muscles or tendons. The diagnosis was vague: “Maybe there is a misalignment of muscles and tendons due to long hours at the desk, muscle weakness, or bad posture. This is a vague diagnosis.
This kind of shoulder pain with no known cause seems to be a common case among people in their 40s and older.
I have been doing some research on shoulder pain, and I found some interesting information,
It is said that the evolution of the skeletal structure of the human body, especially the shoulder joints, has not kept pace with the evolution of bipedalism, which is a good thing since humans used to walk on four legs long time ago.
In the past, we used to walk on our hands, but now we are constantly hanging down the weight of our arms. That puts a lot of strain on the shoulders and makes them more prone to shoulder pain. (There’s a similar story with back pain, isn’t there?)
I saw such information,
shoulder pain, I thought to myself, “Ah, the human body is still in the process of evolution.
However, even though the speed of evolution of the body is inevitable,
However, even though the speed of evolution of the body is inevitable, I believe that the evolution of the head and thoughts can be advanced by oneself, and I would like to be aware of this.
Updating information and knowledge is one of them.
Once again,
The ages at which aging accelerates are “34, 60, and 78 years old” to “around 44 and 60 years old”.
I would also like to update that,
Combining the two studies together,
The ages at which aging accelerates are 34, 44, 60, and 78 years old.
It may be better to update your knowledge to “34, 44, 60, and 78 years of age.
The age of 60, which is commonly indicated in both studies, may be the age to pay particular attention to in aging.
As a shoulder pain sufferer, I strongly feel that I would like to take all possible measures to prepare for that age (60).
See you then
The body cannot be changed immediately through awareness and learning, but thoughts can be changed immediately through awareness and learning. They can evolve.
