Study: Loss of love causes biological aging

In a new study published in the journal “Gama”, the loss of a closest person can become your parent, as I found that people who lost one of the parents, partner, brother or child showed signs of biological aging, compared to those who did not suffer from such losses. Biological aging is a gradual decrease in self -functions, tissues and organs, which increases the risk of chronic diseases and deaths in general, and in contrast with temporary age, which is the number of years a person has lived, the biological era is measured using important indicators such as DNA patterns, which are often referred to. The study of the biological clock provides a more accurate reflection of the physiological state of the individual and the aging process, while the research focuses on the relationship between the loss of one of the loved ones and the changes in the signs of DNA that indicate biological aging. The research team analyzed data from a variety of samples representing the residents of the United States and examined the effects of sadness in different stages of life, from childhood to adulthood. Few studies have discussed how to lose one of the loved ones in different stages of life on the signs of DNA, especially in study samples representing the residents of the United States; The new study shows strong ties between the loss of loved ones throughout life and the fastest biological aging in the United States. The results indicate that stress and the emotional burden of losing a close relative can accelerate biological aging, which can lead to an early incidence of age -related diseases; It highlights the importance of mental health treatment and provides adequate support to those who have suffered from a great loss. The study opens new horizons to understand how life events influence biological aging and public health; It also highlights the need for comprehensive tragic individual support systems to ease the long -term effects of sadness. Researchers used data from the National Teenage Health Study to adults who began in 1994 and 1995; She followed the participants from adolescence to adulthood. The first wave surrounded the opinions of 20,745 teens in rows from 7 to 12, most of whom were between the ages of 12 and 19, and the participants have since been followed up; The researchers continued to study the next wave between 2016 and 2018 and completed interviews with 12300 indigenous participants. In the last wave, between 2016 and 2018, participants were invited to take an additional home examination, as a blood sample of about 4,500 people was provided for the DNA test. The study discussed the losses that occurred during childhood, or adolescence – to the age of 18 – and maturity – from 19 to 43 years – also examined the number of losses that occurred during this period, and more than 40% of participants suffered at least one loss at the stage of puberty between the age of 33 and 43 years. The loss of parents was more frequent in adulthood compared to childhood, adolescence (27%compared to 6%), and had a larger percentage of black participants (57%), and Latin (41%) of at least one loss compared to the white participants (34%). People who had two losses, or more biological ages, had the extent of genetic watches, and exposure to two or more losses in adulthood was strongly linked to biological aging, compared to one loss, and is significantly closer to the lack of loss. Loss of loved ones and health problems. The researchers say that the relationship between the loss of loved ones and health problems throughout the entire life is very firm; But some stages of life may be more vulnerable to the health risks associated with loss, and the accumulation of loss seems to be an important factor. For example, the loss of one of the parents or siblings early in life can be very painful, often leading to mental health problems, perception problems, a higher risk of heart disease and a greater opportunity for early death. The loss of a family member near any age is health risks, and regular losses can increase the risk of heart disease, dementia and death; The consequences can continue or become clear after a long period of the event. “Although the loss of any age may have long -term effects for health, the consequences can be worse during the great growth periods such as childhood or early adulthood.”
