How Much Control Can You Actually Possess Over Facial Aging? (Sep 18, 2011)
A new research of identical twins proves that life experiences and environmental factors have a big effect on how fast or slowly our faces age. Researchers recruited nearly 200 sets of identical twins who were attending the annual twin festival in Twinsburg, Ohio.Twin research is especially useful in the study of aging because twins are genetically programmed to age the identical way, said study author Dr. Bahman Guyuron, chairman of the department of plastic surgery at the University Hospitals of Cleveland and Case Western Reserve University. As a result, any perceived differences in appearance among twins can give clues as to what environmental and lifestyle factors can strongly influence aging, he said.We wanted to look at the factors that may accelerate the process of growing old, Dr. Guyuron said. What are the things we can control? By changing your lifestyle behaviors, can you control part of aging that would otherwise be accelerated?Using still photos of each twin set, the researchers asked an independent panel to mark differences in each twins appearance and whether one twin looked older than the other. They found several factors had to do with facial aging, including sun exposure and smoking. Based on the assessment, 10 years of smoking added about 2.5 extra years of aging to a twins face, compared to a twin who didnt smoke. Sun exposure, especially among those who spent a lot more time outside playing golf or at the beachtennis, also increased the appearance of aging.Stress was a huge factor in aging. Divorced twins appeared, on average, a minimum of two years older than a twin who was married or widowed.It also appeared as though antidepressant use was also associated with an older appearance. Researchers said it's possible that depression itself increased facial aging, or its possible that use of antidepressant drugs relaxed facial muscles which increased the appearance of aging.The researchers also found a shocking relationship between facial aging and body weight. A heavier body weight before the age of 40 was associated with an older look. However, in the women over 40, a heavier body mass index was related to a younger look, compared to a thinner twin.Excessive weight loss can be detrimental to youthfulness and attractiveness, Dr. Guyuron said. Its a warning if you lose too much weight after the age of 40.The results were published online in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. All of the twins studied were women. Dr. Guyuron said future studies will research male sets of twins to determine what factors influence a mans facial aging.
