Cancer cases among younger people have been increasing, with new evidence showing that younger generations are aging faster at the cellular level. A study of nearly 150,000 people in the UK found that those born after 1965 had a biological age that exceeded their chronological age, leading to a 17% increased risk of developing solid tumor cancers. The study, presented at the American Association for Cancer Research annual meeting, identified higher risks for lung, gastrointestinal, and uterine cancers in individuals with accelerated aging. This suggests a potential explanation for the rising cancer rates in younger populations.
