Our Bodies Age in Three Distinct Shifts, According to More Than 4,000 Blood Tests

In terms of biological ageing, the body seems to shift gears three times during our lifespans, new research suggests – with 34 years, 60 years and 78 years the key thresholds.
In other words, we now have evidence that ageing isn't one long, continuous process that moves at the same speed throughout our lives.
The findings might help us understand more about how our bodies start to break down as we get older, and how specific age-related diseases – including Alzheimer's or cardiovascular disease – could be better tackled.
The same study has also put forward a new way of reliably predicting people's ages using the protein levels (the proteome) in their blood.
"By deep mining the ageing plasma proteome, we identified undulating changes during the human lifespan," write the researchers in their published paper.
"These changes were the result of clusters of proteins moving in distinct patterns, culminating in the emergence of three waves of ageing."

Wow!!!

According to Genetics, at age 47, I am already dead!

Humans have a “natural” lifespan of around 38 years, according to a new method we have developed for estimating the lifespans of different species by analysing their DNA.

I want the JAB! Give Me The JAB!

The CRISPR/Cas 9 study found a gene tied to cellular senescence (which tells cells to stop growing) and also, that CRISPR/Cas9 treatment can make partially dormant the aging process. CRISPR/Cas9 treatment allowed mice to live 25% longer and be physically stronger. Biologists see these results being relatively easy to reproduce on humans in a clinical setting.

Live Long And Prosper!

In 100 years we will have a planet of mutants. It will be a good deal for humankind or it will be a war against the mutants who are superior in many ways but hated by those who are natural.

I did age in different modes. I gave a fuck, don't give a fuck and now what the fuck.

Very interesting...  I've noticed some major changes in DH this last year.. now I know why; he's 61. 

As far as the anti-aging discovery - that's gonna be worth a pretty penny!

I have always used a different model of the stages of human life.

Birth (womb and early infancy), Growth (pre-teen), Maturity (late teens to around 50), Aging (50+) and Death (the final step). A five step process the way I've always viewed it. Here they combine the first three of my system making them sub-stages of the first aging shift.

Wow! I have felt the  same. 

In my mid 30's, I went through a change. It was like something automatic. I didn't do anything differently. Still ate the same, exercised the same, slept the same. But BAM!, there it was. It felt programmed. And quick.

I'm 64.   I can see these three phases, although I characterize them differently:  

1) Age 1 - 30.    Pimple and muscle age.    These are the times where your muscles almost build themselves, and every workout only enhances them.   Your endurance is almost limitless.   You require very little sleep, and on the rare occasion in which you sleep for, say, 12 hours, you awaken with super powers.   The words "blood test" never ever cross your mind.   You don't have a personal doctor.    

2) Age 30 - 60.   The great transition years.    Skin is no longer elastic, and everything progressively hurts.   Now, in order to maintain muscle mass, it requires work and lots of it.   Metabolism becomes progressively lazy, so more activity is required than ever before to stay lean-ish.   This is often the best time to medically repair/replace joints.    Your doctor tells you to give up everything which gives your life meaning.    Sexual adventures are best when planned, although spontaneity is not yet dead, just resting.     

3)  Age 60+.   You've done all you can.   You don't much resemble yourself when you were young, but you also don't care.   Every day is a gift, and you are acutely aware of many of your contemporaries of your age are already gone.   Anything can kill people of your age.     You take a bazillion pills, both prescription and supplements, and you dabble with Eastern medicine much more than ever before.   It's probably time for another tattoo -- so much less expensive than the muscle car you've been looking at online.     You ... FINally learn the fine art of just sitting and looking and beauty, and if you are lucky and wise, you see yourself as a part of the natural environment in which you live.    You are active and grateful for the ability to be so.   The multiple sins you visited upon your body in your youth come home to roost and stay forever;   these are birds with sharp beaks and huge wings, but they aren't mean.   Not really.   Just persistent.  

Selah.
