Humans Age Faster at 2 Sharp Peaks, Study Finds In fact, if you wake up one morning, look in the mirror, and wonder if your aging somehow accelerated, you might not be imagining things. According to a 2024 study into the molecular changes associated with aging , humans experience two abrupt lurches forward, one at the average age of 44 and the other at around age 60. "We're not just changing gradually over time; there are some really dramatic changes," geneticist Michael Snyder of Stanford University explained in August 2024 when the research was published. "It turns out the mid-40s is a time of dramatic change, as is the early 60s. Snyder and his colleagues investigated the biology of aging to gain a deeper understanding of what changes occur and how, in order to better mitigate and treat these ailments . They tracked a group of 108 adults, who had been donating biological samples every few months over several years.
