New Delhi, April 28, 2025.
A study has suggested that age 36 is when the ill-effects of having unhealthy habits as a young adult — smoking, drinking and physical inactivity — start becoming apparent.
Researchers from the University of Jyvaskyla tracked about 370 residents of the Finnish city for over 30 years. Data was collected via surveys and medical tests at ages 27, 36, 42, 50 and 61.
Three bad habits — smoking, heavy drinking and a lack of exercise — can lead to declines in health in people as young as 36, according to findings published in the journal Annals of Medicine.
