Gen-Z Is ‘Ageing Like Milk’ And Are More Rapidly Ageing Than Past Generations

The following report is by The Trends Journal:

A newly released study found that younger Americans—those born after 1965—are about 17 percent more likely to be experiencing “accelerated aging” compared to those born between 1950 and 1954.

UPI cited the UK Biobank project that collected and analyzed blood samples from about 149,000 people and considered biomarkers that calculate an individual’s age. A team of scientists at Washington University in St. Louis conducted the study. 

Some of the biomarkers included albumin, which is a protein produced by the liver that declines with age and glucose, which often stays higher for longer after meals. 

These values were plugged into an algorithm called PhenoAge, CNN reported, and calculated each person’s biological age. 

For each sign of accelerated aging, these researchers found increased risk of serious illness. 

These risks include a 42 percent increase for early onset lung cancer; a 22 percent increase for early onset gastrointestinal cancer, and a 36 percent increase in the risk for uterine cancer.

“If validated, our findings suggest that interventions to slow biological aging could be a new avenue for cancer prevention, and screening efforts tailored to younger individuals with signs of accelerated aging could help detect cancers early,” Ruivi Tian, a doctoral student at the university, said. 

Individuals born after 1965 were, on average, more likely to have a biological age that was older than their actual age. These individuals were 17 percent more likely to develop a solid tumor cancer—especially in those under the age of 50.

Medical News Today reported that from 1990 to 2019, early onset incidence of 29 cancers increased by about 79 percent globally, with early onset cancer deaths also rising by about 28 percent during that time.

TRENDPOST: These researchers say that more investigation is required, but if the study is validated, the findings “suggest that interventions to slow biological aging could be a new avenue for cancer prevention, and screening efforts tailored to younger individuals with signs of accelerated aging could help detect cancers early.”

The Trends Journal has reported extensively on the rise of certain cancers among the young. We have also been reporting on the jump in obesity rates among young Americans—which many see as a direct link to the rise in cancer rates.

Aging has always been seen as one of the top risk factors for certain cancers and the older you get, the more susceptible you become. 

“We all know cancer is an aging disease. However, it is really coming to a younger population. So whether we can use the well-developed concept of biological aging to apply that to the younger generation is a really untouched area,” Dr. Yin Cao, an associate professor of surgery at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and senior author of the new research, said in a statement.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

You might have seen that there is a trend going around on social media where a lot of Gen-Z’ers are saying how their generation is “ageing like milk,” recounting stories where people mistook them for looking way older than they actually are. Some people featured in the video below touched on what I will explain in my commentary:

I personally have been mischaracterized for being significantly older than I actually am, but I sport a beard and dress more properly than most people these days, so maybe that’s why, among other reasons.

The reasons Gen-Z, and other generations for that matter, objectively looks and feels older is not hard to figure out, though the list is long;

Stress is one of the biggest reasons for rapid ageing. Stress will deteriorate you fast, and in this current environment stress abounds; none more so than Gen-Z, and considering how the kitchen sink and then some was thrown at them. Social media and always fixated to social media is the biggest reason, but all the other crap forced by their tumultuous upbringings and homes (as mine certainly was very hectic and super stressful), on top of the school and media brainwashing, and now a destroyed economy that has ruined most prospects of ever being financial secure and having a prosperous family.

The other reasons are simple. People are not getting outside enough anymore: they are not getting enough sun, enough fresh air, not sweating, cleansing, grounding enough; they are inside too much, sitting down far too much, staring at and messing with devices all day; getting absolutely roasted with EMFs, WIFI, Bluetooth, 5G, etc. endlessly; the garbage, toxic food they regularly consume, and all the medications and drugs they’ve been put on; and now especially with so many people covering themselves in tattoos and piercings; and women in particular caking their faces with so much makeup and cosmetics it destroys their skin in a self-perpetuating problem.

All of what I have listed is where people just in general look so much older than they actually are. Americans, by and large, to be quite frank, look terrible and disgusting, for all the reasons I just listed.

Control what you can control by putting the odds in your favor, and take control of your health.

Ecclesiastes 11:7 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun: [8] But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. [9] Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. [10] Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
