Researchers have unveiled two “hyperrealistic” reconstructions of adult sisters who lived and worked in a brutal mining community in what is now the Czech Republic more than 6,000 years ago. The stunning, 3D reconstructions are based on a new analysis of the sisters’ remains, which were unearthed more than 15 years ago from a prehistoric chert mine in the South …

Turns out, you’re not exactly ‘child’ at heart!A new nationwide study has shed light on a concerning trend: most American adults have hearts that are older than their real age, sometimes even by over a decade.

In a study published July 18 in the journal Science Advances, Wang and her co-authors came up with a partial answer. They analyzed a dataset of 58,007 women and their children and concluded that, in some cases, a child’s sex correlates with the mother’s age. Women who had their first child at age 29 or older were more likely to …

Today is the oldest you’ve ever been, and the youngest you’ll ever be. That’s just the way it is, but did you know that not all of you is aging at the same rate?

Most U.S. adults have a “heart age” older than their chronological age because of factors like lifestyle and heart disease. Northwestern University’s online tool calculates heart age using health data such as cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Observational data showed gaps in heart and chronological ages based on education and race. You know how many birthdays you’ve had. But how …

To find out what might be going on, Ian Sample hears from Prof Michael Snyder, the director of the Center for Genomics and Personalised Medicine at …

Phoenix summers no longer just feel unbearable. They may age your body faster too. In 2023 alone, the city recorded over 140 days with temperatures surpassing 100°F. Now, new research suggests that these extreme heat conditions do more than cause short-term harm. A recent study published in the journal Science Advances has revealed that long-term exposure to high heat …
