Age Old Question
from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni
In the latest journal of Aging a UCLA genetics team recorded age-related changes to human DNA, calculating the biological age of blood and estimated a person’s lifespan. More often than not they found that the biological age was a better indicator of life expectancy than the person’s actual age. Anthony and Jeff discuss whether our DNA will determine our lifespan, and, if so, what we should do about it. GET BONUS EPISODES, VIDEO HANGOUTS AND MORE.
