Scientists find #humans age dramatically in two bursts – at 44, then 60
#US findings suggesting #ageing is not a slow and steady process could explain spikes in health issues at certain ages.
The first wave of changes included molecules linked to cardiovascular disease and the ability to metabolize caffeine, alcohol and lipids. The second wave of changes included molecules involved in immune regulation, carbohydrate metabolism and kidney function.

This makes a lot of sense. I've noticed this in myself and in others, this sudden plumpening after 40, and melting after 60. I just turned 60, she said in some trepidation.
@BenjaminHCCarr shit I’m doomed next year then
I'm 71 and think I missed the 60 spike
