Description
Brittany Tretter and co-authors wrote this 2024 review on how aging runs after a spinal cord injury. People with such injuries age faster in some ways, with age-linked illness arriving early. Yet the team argues the path is not just speeded up: it follows its own pattern, unlike aging in the general public.
Muscle shrinks fast and shifts type in a way set by the nerve damage, and bone thins in spots that bear no load, raising breaks in places rare for others. Low hormones, extra fat, and steady inflammation team up to raise risks of diabetes and heart disease. Breathing and exercise capacity also fall by routes tied to the injury. The authors ask carers to treat this as its own form of aging, named neurogenic aging.
