Each person ages differently. Due to a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic circumstances, two 50-year-olds who have lived the same number of years may have distinct biological ages, resulting in various rates of ageing and varying levels of risk for disease and early death. Disease, poor food, smoking, and other lifestyle factors all hasten biological ageing beyond chronological age. In other words, you’re ageing more quickly than you should be. And for the first time, researchers have discovered a link between accelerated biological age and muscle weakness indicated by grip strength, a proxy for overall strength capacity.
