The more we age the more the risk of getting cancer

But consider this: though smoking increases the risk of getting cancer fivefold, being 50 years old increases your cancer risk a hundredfold. By the age of 70, it is a thousandfold.

Scientists have successfully restored the vision of old mice by “reversing the clock” on the biological ageing process in a breakthrough study. The research offers a new approach to reversing age-related decline, using a technique that effectively reprograms cells to be younger.
