People who make your life more difficult may be aging you faster, according to recent research.
In the study, published last month in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers found that people with more hasslers in their life, or those "who create problems or make life more difficult," have a higher biological age compared to their actual chronological age.
"These results suggest that the hasslers in one’s social environment may constitute an overlooked but consequential biological risk factor," the authors write.
The study even accounted for several other factors, including occupation, adverse childhood experiences and smoking. But still, the impact of negative social ties remained significant, the study notes.
Just how significant? "Each additional hassler is associated with approximately 1.5% faster biological aging and roughly nine (months) of additional biological age among individuals of the same chronological age," the authors found.
