Space-age stressors are helping researchers rethink ageing on Earth
Research into how astronauts age during long missions is sharpening scientists’ understanding of how inactivity, circadian disruption, and isolation may accelerate ageing back on Earth.
Key Takeaways
- Long-duration spaceflight appears to accelerate several age-related biological changes.
- Researchers see parallels between orbital stressors and Earthbound conditions like inactivity and circadian disruption.
