A higher biological age compared to one's chronological age significantly increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. This condition heightens susceptibility to a spectrum of chronic diseases across various systems in the body and visibly impacts physical appearance such as facial aging.

• Cardiovascular Systems: Leading to conditions such as heart disease and hypertension.

• Neurodegenerative Systems: Manifesting as diseases like Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.

• Cancer Development: Aging increases the risk of various cancers as cellular damage accumulates over time.

• Respiratory Systems: Chronic conditions like COPD and asthma are exacerbated by aging.

• Musculoskeletal Systems: Including osteoporosis and arthritis, where aging impacts bone density and joint health.

• Endocrine Systems: Aging can influence the development of diabetes due to changes in how the body processes sugar.

• Facial Aging: Alongside health implications, aging affects the skin’s elasticity and firmness, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and other changes that make one appear older. These visible signs often reflect underlying biological aging processes.

These age-related changes emphasize the critical need for managing biological age to maintain quality of life and to mitigate the early onset and progression of debilitating diseases. Research consistently shows that aging is a fundamental risk factor for these conditions, which suggests that an accelerated biological aging process could lead to more severe health issues sooner, and visibly age a person beyond their years.
