If you have had COVID-19, some of your internal organs may have aged three to four years faster than normal. This sad conclusion was reached by researchers from the University of California at San Francisco.
Covid significantly accelerates the aging of some human organs, by about three to four years. Repeatedly transferred coronavirus infection accelerates this extremely unpleasant process even more, as the observations of scientists from California have shown. And so far, millions of people have been ill with the coronavirus at least twice. And many do not even know about it for sure.
Coronavirus infection accelerates brain aging
After two and a half years of research in the field of coronavirus, the first data have been obtained that show quite dramatic changes in biological age in the organs of a person infected with coronavirus. COVID-19 itself is considered an accelerator of the biological processes of aging, as the virus does have an impact on the relentless passage of time. Scientists collected data on millions of people across America, assessed their condition of the kidneys, brain and heart.
Excess weight accelerates brain aging
All of them showed similar patterns, which showed that some human organs aged much faster after suffering a coronavirus. For those who ended up in the hospital as a result of COVID-19, this process accelerated to the maximum, but it was also noted in people who had a mild form of coronavirus. (READ MORE)
