These shifts were observed across various molecular classes, affecting health and disease risks

The research showed non-linear fluctuations in 81% of the molecules studied during these periods

Significant changes in cardiovascular and immune-related molecules were noted in the early 60s

Researchers suggest these shifts may contribute to the increased risk of age-related diseases

The mid-40s changes surprised scientists, initially thought to be related to menopause or perimenopause

Both men and women experience these shifts, indicating other significant aging factors are involved
