Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated how environmental factors like BMI, sun exposure, smoking, and hormone use influence facial aging in identical twins, showing that these factors can significantly alter perceptions of age and facial features.
  • Key findings include that higher BMI can make younger twins appear older but younger in older twins, smoking and sun exposure accelerate aging signs like wrinkles and discoloration, and hormone replacement therapy seems to help maintain a younger appearance.
  • Overall, the results provide strong evidence that lifestyle and environmental factors play a crucial role in facial aging, even among genetically identical individuals.]

actually sunscreen and sun avoidance is pretty major! Add in smoking avoidance, alcohol avoidance, and HRT (for women) and there's a lot you can do to control aging! https://t.co/C6otvxZSVB https://t.co/MmqL05fu7U https://t.co/tBfx1kdLWf
