A new study shows organs age at different rates and accelerated organ aging is linked to a higher risk of disease and premature death.

Stanford University researchers have developed a blood test that can assess the rate of aging in internal organs.

The blood test analyzes levels of thousands of proteins to predict which organs may be at risk of failure.

The test could potentially be used to predict disease risk and measure the effectiveness of interventions to reduce aging-related illness.

Further research is needed to determine if the identified proteins cause the aging process or are by-products.

Experts stress the importance of considering overall health and providing support to individuals receiving these test results.
