Reply to comment by TheFrenchFryWarrior in Depressed, and Aging Fast. People with higher levels of aging-associated proteins were more likely to have high blood pressure, and multiple medical problems. The accelerated aging was also associated with worse performance on tests of brain health such as working memory and other cognitive skills. by Wagamaga
Ehhh, the point the commenter is making is that there are tons of other impossible-to-entangle factors that may make up the lion's share of the effect.
Like if someone is worth $20M, I can imagine they'd have a better feeling towards growing old -- and in fact would try harder to stay alive longer than someone who knows they're going to be working minimum wage jobs into their 80s.
