Science Says Extremely Hot Weather Could Speed Up Biological Aging
A new study found that living in areas in the U.S. with extreme heat may speed up biological aging in older adults. Here's what to know.
Hot to go: extreme heat can make people age faster
Warming temperatures may be taking a toll on older adults. New research has linked extreme heat exposure to a higher epigenetic age, indicating that climate change could be accelerating the aging process. Understanding how heat affects the human body can help humans better prepare as the planet's temperatures continue to warm.

Extremely Hot Weather Can Age You as Much as Smoking
A study published this week in the journal Science Advances makes the case that extreme heat is aging millions of Americans more quickly than their counterparts in cooler climates. The impact of chronic exposure to high temperatures, researchers found, is equivalent to the effect of habitual smoking on cellular aging.
Extreme heat may speed up aging in older adults: Study
A new USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology study suggests greater exposure to extreme heat may accelerate biological aging in older adults, raising new concerns about how climate change and
Extreme heat can accelerate aging: Research
New research from the United States reveals that prolonged exposure to intense heat accelerates aging in humans by altering their epigenetics. The stu
Extreme Heat Could Make Older Adults Age Faster by Altering Their DNA, Study Finds
Extreme heat can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, affect mental health and worsen asthma. And those negative health effects are particularly dangerous to elderly people: Now, a new study suggests extreme heat could even alter the DNA of older adults and accelerate biological aging.
