Traumele din copilarie afecteaza functiile musculare mai tarziu in viata
Childhood Trauma Impacts Muscle Function in Later Life
Researchers uncovered a link between adverse childhood experiences and impaired muscle function in older adults.
The research involved analyzing muscle biopsies from over 870 participants aged 70 and above, focusing on their skeletal muscle's ability to produce ATP, a crucial energy molecule.
Findings indicate that individuals who reported significant childhood adversity exhibited lower levels of ATP production, suggesting that early traumas can affect mitochondrial function, which is essential for energy production and overall cellular health.
This study highlights the long-term impact of childhood experiences on physical health in later life and suggests the need for strategies to mitigate these effects.
