Twitter Remains Convinced That People Aged Faster In The Past, Continues Posting Photos That “Prove” This Theory
When Brandon McCarthy asked Twitter users whether they agree that people in the past aged faster, he didn't know he was opening Pandora's box. But what's done is done. Everyone immediately started posting pictures that support this theory, and they haven't stopped yet.
We're talking 24-year-old soccer players who look like they're going to break in half when they kick the ball, young moms and dads who could pass off as great-grandparents... Heck, someone even included Pablo Escobar in the collection. Continue scrolling and check out the most important evolutionary discovery of our age for yourself!

It's true, people age at different rates. Now, the attention is on what can we do about it. A geriatric epidemiologist and Canada Research Chair in Geroscience at McMaster University, Parminder Raina is leading the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA), one of the largest and most in-depth studies on health and aging ever.
Its aim is to understand the factors that influence how we age and find ways to slow down, cure or even prevent age-related diseases.
That's an old picture of Brad Pitt ... he looks pretty close to his age actually
"We now have more centenarians than ever before, and not all of them are senile and functionally dependent," Raina said. "Many live very full lives."
According to him, understanding how we age, why we each age differently, and what causes disease and disability as we rack up the years is critical to developing programs and interventions that will promote independent and healthy living for as long as possible.
With a team of more than 160 researchers and contributors, the CLSA is following over 50,000 randomly selected men and women between the ages of 45 and 85 over a 20-year period to understand why some people live longer than others. The biggest funders of this project are the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation, and other participating provinces.
He was 51 when the movie was released, so, yeah. Something must be in the water
"We know that the changes in our body that come with aging represent a common risk factor for disease," Raina said. "What we learn from this could tell us a lot about how chronic inflammation is linked to cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer's disease; how responses to stress can accelerate aging and risk of disease; how work history and wealth contribute to our health and well-being; and more."
What a time to be alive! Now all we have to do is stick around until we get the results and who knows, maybe you and I will be able to add a few extra birthdays to our calendars.
It's the glasses and the hair style we associate with older people.
Drug use, stress, and eating disorders aged her. She was considered prematurely old looking even at the time.
Sting once said, that without Sex Pistols today every rocker would be look like just like this...

I think we just associate certain styles with being old because our parents/grandparents wore them and we think of them as adult even in old pics. Also a lot of these people were aged by smoking, drinking or drug problems. Being grey or bald early is going to automatically make people think you're older too.
Exactly. Plus a lot of people, women especially, use sunscreen and much better moisturizers than they had access to back then. And even though Judy Garland was a movie star, she had lived a crappy life with substance abuse and she was on her 4th husband by the time she was 45.
And her mom pushed the heavy duty uppers on her since she was real young.like adderall on meth.
And photography has significantly improved. Film is not a very forgiving medium. Digital photography has really changed things. Add in Photoshop ...
Yeah I've thought Steve Martin was 70 since the '80's.
Case in point: Stephen Miller is 34. AP_1716364...68x721.jpg
Racism is aging.
A little. But some of these people look old/ wrinkled/ tired. Some just age better.
That adds to it too. But there is much more to it than just that it also is the mind. According to behavioural research every generation rejuvenates 7.5 years to the former one. You can see this in every aspect of life and it also affects our bodies a lot as cell regeneration, hormones and immune systems are in great dependency of our mind. Or otherwise said: if one is stressed he ages faster. So what we built up as society, the freedom individuals plays a big role there too.
less smoking and drinking. We're outside less so not as much sun. More plastic surgery, hair restoration, botox, etc.
Smoking perhaps, but drinking trends have remained pretty consistent. wboizgown0...r7ibja.png
Yeah ok, downvote and dismiss with your anecdotes because you don't understand you don't understand evidence, data and statistics. Not surprising the US is in decline and 1/2 the country believes the BS of some orange shit-gibbon. *eye roll*
I don't know about that. I knew an older couple who'd come of age in the 40s, and was a bit surprised when she said that he'd been a part-time bootlegger back in the day. She didn't think that people now drink anywhere near as much as they did back in the 40s and 50s.

Hi...I was a really❤❤ bad..girl. ❤❤ Pu︆︆nish me with your di︆︆ck❤❤ in my mo︆︆uth!! >> b︆︆︆it.︆︆︆do/fn6CH
It has to be that all the preservatives in our food now a days keeps us younger? Lol
You may not be that far off the truth. Apparently, corpses now take longer to decompose than they used to and that is given as the reason.
No shit? Do you have a source?
I'm sorry I haven't been able to find the source. I was a bit too squeamish to delve too far into some of the sites. If I do come across it, I will post it.
Wow, that indeed is very interesting. Source?.
