More irregular daily rhythms linked to faster ageing - study
People who keep a more regular daily rhythm tend to show slower biological ageing, a study found. Researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health analysed rest-activity rhythm data and blood ageing biomarkers from 207 participants with an average age of 68. Those with more consistent patterns tended to have slower biological ageing, while participants with frequent shifts between activity and rest showed faster ageing. The link remained after adjusting for factors including age and sex.
