what are the various causes of aging?
Man doth not yield himself to the angels, nor unto death utterly, save only through the weakness of his feeble will.i mean is self suggestion
Generally the cause of ones death has happened around one - yes....because of what has been seen happening around one of the cause of death.

Lol, just the good posts that came after Ironman.phinds said:Wait ... you mean my blaming it on spouses wasn't a good post?
It's old information. But it got deleted in error.jedishrfu said:So referencing the telomeres article from wikipedia was a bad post?
I'm glad you brought this up. This was a great program.jim mcnamara said:I guess spouses are an environmental factor, right?
So - interleaving Phinds humor and not so funny Science:
Epigenetics deals with genetic changes resulting from environmental changes to somatic (non-sex cell) DNA. Epigenetic aging studies are underway, here is one about tumorigenesis and epigenetics:

The main factors that contribute to aging in human beings include genetics, lifestyle choices, environmental factors, and cellular damage.
Genetics can influence the rate at which we age by affecting the production and repair of cells and tissues in the body. Certain genetic mutations or variations can increase the risk of age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's and heart disease.
Poor lifestyle choices, such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, lack of exercise, and an unhealthy diet can accelerate the aging process. These habits can lead to cellular damage, inflammation, and chronic diseases that contribute to aging.
Exposure to environmental factors, such as pollution, UV radiation, and toxins, can cause oxidative stress and damage to cells and tissues. This can lead to premature aging and increase the risk of age-related diseases.
Over time, cells accumulate damage from normal metabolic processes, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices. This damage can lead to cellular dysfunction, decreased tissue function, and contribute to the aging process.
