Scientists discover possible link between 9/11 and accelerated aging

A study by Stony Brook University found that PTSD in 9/11 World Trade Center responders is linked to molecular changes associated with accelerated biological aging and increased chronic disease risk. Researchers analyzed blood samples from 393 responders, identifying 114 proteins and seven metabolites differing between those with and without PTSD, with signs of aging in organs like the heart and brain.
