Age 50: The Turning Point in Human Ageing Revealed by Proteomics
Researchers have identified age 50 as a critical juncture in human ageing, noting significant changes in blood vessels and organs. Study results published in 'Cell' and 'Nature Ageing' show changes starting as early as ages 44 and 60. Findings could revolutionize understanding and treatment of ageing-related conditions.

Recent studies shed light on age 50 as a pivotal moment in the human ageing process, highlighting significant alterations in blood vessels and organs. Published in Cell, this research emphasizes the vulnerability of blood vessels at this age.
Using proteomics, researchers analyzed over 500 samples from various organs, revealing proteins' roles in ageing. These findings offer new insights into the biological age and disease risks associated with ageing.
Notably, the study underscores the early ageing of the aorta, a vital artery. This discovery points to vascular senescence as a key factor in systemic ageing, potentially guiding future medical interventions.
