So, at what age does aging accelerate?
According to the study, the decisive turning point occurs:
Around age 50
It is during this period that several organs show a sudden acceleration of deterioration. Researchers speak of a disruption of cellular equilibrium: proteins are damaged more quickly, internal regulation becomes erratic, and repair mechanisms become less effective.

Proteins are the body’s “workhorses”: they transport, repair, protect, and structure our cells.

With age:
They lose their shape,
accumulate as debris,
or cease to be manufactured correctly.
The study even reveals a worrying phenomenon: genes sometimes continue to send the correct instructions, but the proteins produced no longer obey. The cell-gene communication breaks down. It is this transcriptome/proteome mismatch that accelerates tissue degeneration.
Furthermore, certain senescent proteins, called senoproteins, circulate in the blood and amplify aging. The GAS6 protein is thought to be one of the most implicated, particularly in the degradation of blood vessels.

Why
this turning point changes everything for prevention
Knowing that aging accelerates around age 50 allows us to act before damage accumulates.
This paves the way for:
