Joy Kong, MD explains that biological aging is five to six times more influential than smoking or obesity for chronic disease. Among people of the same age and background, facial appearance predicts how fast your organs are aging, with visible age differences of 20 to 30 years between the slowest and fastest agers.
"Five or six times" more important.
About "20 or 30 years" difference.
Aging is the biggest risk factor for all chronic disease and death, and not by a small margin. We're talking about five or six times more important than smoking status or obesity.
How you're looking on the outside actually can predict how you are on the inside, because what's going on in the face is a prediction of what's going on in your internal organs.
We do know that individuals who live in the same area get approximate levels of sun exposure, you know, are all the same ethnicity. They definitively the pace of aging is correlated to those facial appearances. And if you see these pictures, sometimes you can see just how drastic some of that is. And the difference between the slowest and fasting age members looks to be maybe 20 or 30 years of difference, even though they have the exact same chronological age.
