Aging clocks can measure the biological age of humans with high precision. Biological age can be influenced by environmental factors such as smoking or diet, thus deviating from chronological age that is calculated using the date of birth. The precision of these aging clocks suggests that the aging process follows a program.

Pregnancy accelerates biological aging in a healthy, young adult populationPregnancy may carry a cost, reports a new study. The research shows that women who reported having been pregnant looked biologically older than women who had never been pregnant, and women who had been pregnant more often looked biologically older than those who reported fewer pregnancies.
