USA – Scientists say they believe they can run a blood test to check how fast a person’s internal organs are ageing, and even predict which ones might soon fail.

The Stanford University team says they can monitor 11 major body parts, including the heart, brain and lungs.

They tried it on thousands of adults, mostly middle-aged or older and found one in five reasonably healthy adults aged 50-plus might have at least one fast-ageing organ.

And one to two in every 100 might have several organs that test older than their birthday years.
