https://www.theguardian.com/science/article/2024/aug/14/scientists-find-humans-age-dramatically-in-two-bursts-at-44-then-60-aging-not-slow-and-steady

If you have noticed a sudden accumulation of wrinkles, aches and pains or a general sensation of having grown older almost overnight, there may be a scientific explanation. Research suggests that rather than being a slow and steady process, aging occurs in at least two accelerated bursts.

The study, which tracked thousands of different molecules in people aged 25 to 75, detected two major waves of age-related changes at around ages 44 and again at 60. The findings could explain why spikes in certain health issues including musculoskeletal problems and cardiovascular disease occur at certain ages.

The first thing I noticed is I started watching porn less. I’m married but I still watched porn nightly for several hours. My sex drive was basically the same from my mid teens through my late 30s, then at 40/41 it took a nosedive. Then lower energy, random aches and pains even when just lying down, stopped staying up late, suddenly needed 7 hours of sleep to function. Beard and pubes are now getting gray. Stopped watching as much sports although i still watch college football religiously, but no longer get caught up in the rivalries like I used to.

I highly doubt this will replicate. If this was actually true, it would have been obvious from mortality curve data before this. Either this has to do with changes in specific, narrow biomarkers of aging or it doesn’t generalize to the entire population

I think there are certain fields where it’s close to impossible to develop a mechanistic understanding of what’s going on so people study bullshit topics or create highly simplified models to validate their own intuitions. Lots of this in biology (still don’t really understand what causes cellular aging or even something like Alzheimer’s). Basically worthless research. I am convinced we need AGI to get rapid progress in this area because humans are fundamentally just too stupid.

Aren't these ages just the beginning and end of Gen X? We have to take Gen into consideration. When they analyze 44 year olds, they are analyzing Gen Xers beaten down by life. Millennials and zoomers are more apt to kill themselves or overdose on fentanyl in the face of adversity. They are also more Obese. Extremely fat people, people on opiates, and gamers do not experience adversity and thus live carefree existences.

This is just p-hacking. These "scientists" took a bunch of biomarkers that change with age, did a bunch of regressions on their sample, and identified "statistically significant" changes above the baseline at ages 44 and 60. It was no doubt highly likely that, given the sample size, the number of biomarkers considered and the number of ages observed, that there would be "statistically significant" departures from the baseline at some ages even if in reality people age at a constant (or constantly increasing) rate

Look at the positives. Do you think anyone who is a top notch performer gives a fuck about this “study”? The only aspies who care about this are the people in HS who were like “when I’m in college I’ll get all the girls!” Then they don’t they’re like “when I get a great job I’ll get girls!” Then they don’t then “when I’m 50 and I’m a billionaire I’ll get girls!”.

Normal high performing people IRL just do what they do and shrug at studies like this.

My back problems magically got better at age 44. I think most it was paying attention to strengthening mobility exercises instead of just stretching. But I do notice it’s way fucking harder to lose weight now, and I suspect I’ve dropped a significant amount of free testosterone. But still relatively strong compared to my all time bests, like 80-85% of my all time highs in my 20s. Can run a sub 8 min mile at 230 lbs and can still hold my own in a pickup basketball game against younger/quicker dudes. This weird meme article from the Guardian feels like it’s very targeted at women ie “this is the usual date range of menopause.”
