Is looking older a bad thing?

O tym odcinku

“Time and tide waits for no one”, the old saying goes, but it’s fair to say that some people are affected by symptoms of ageing earlier than others. And the latest study to come out of the University of Rotterdam suggests that there may be a link between how old we look, and how likely we are to develop certain age-related conditions. The team of researchers published their findings in the British Journal of Dermatology in January 2023. They had studied a group of 2679 people aged between 51 and 87. Facial photographs were taken of each participant. They’d all been instructed not to wear any creams, make-up or jewellery. 27 assessors were then tasked with estimating the age of participants, based on the photos of their faces. What evidence is that based on? Where does the link to health conditions come in? Is looking older linked to a higher mortality rate then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
