Description
Yuxuan Wang and Lifeng Wang studied whether faster biological aging raises the risk of eye damage from diabetes, in two thousand twenty-six. Biological age can run ahead of calendar age, and standard risk factors do not fully explain who gets the eye disease. Their group held more than twelve thousand British adults with diabetes.
Three separate measures of aging speed all pointed the same way. Faster aging went with a higher risk of new eye damage over time. People with both high genetic risk and fast aging had the highest risk of all. The two risks also added to each other. The authors suggest aging speed could help sort patients by risk.
