Heatwaves Accelerate Aging, Study Finds
A new study shows repeated heatwave exposure accelerates aging, comparable to smoking; four extra heatwave days over two years increased biological age by nine days in nearly 25,000 Taiwanese adults, with manual laborers and those lacking air conditioning most affected.
