老化の元凶「糖化」をどう防ぐ?どんな人が危ない?
年を重ねると、皮膚のシミ・シワ、白髪などが目立ち始めます。老化現象は誰にでも起こるものですが、“老け方”には明らかに個人差があります。同年代なのに10歳若く見える人もいれば、逆に10歳老けて見える人もいます。見た目だけでなく、認知症や糖尿病などのさまざまな病気の進み方にも個人差があります。周囲は若々しく病気知らずなのに、自分だけ老け込んで病気がちになっていく――といった事態は避けたいものです。

How to Prevent Glycation, the Culprit of Aging? Who is at Risk?
As we age, signs such as skin spots, wrinkles, and gray hair become more noticeable. Aging is a natural phenomenon that everyone experiences, but there are clear individual differences in how people age. Some individuals appear ten years younger than their peers, while others may look ten years older. These differences are not only visible but also affect the progression of various diseases such as dementia and diabetes. It is essential to avoid situations where one feels they are aging and becoming ill while those around them remain youthful and healthy.
