一项研究发现,在青春期吸烟的父亲可能会加速其子女的生理老龄化达一年。 Fathers who smoked during puberty may accelerate their children's biological aging by up to a year, a study finds.

在欧洲呼吸道协会大会上提交的一项研究发现,其父亲在青春期吸烟的人的生理年龄可能更快,其后代的生理年龄平均增加9个月至1年。 A study presented at the European Respiratory Society Congress finds that people whose fathers smoked during puberty may age faster biologically, with offspring showing a nine-month to one-year biological age increase on average. 这项研究由Juan Pablo López-Cervantes博士牵头,分析了892名使用前辈基因钟测量生物老化的人的血液样本。 The research, led by Dr. Juan Pablo López-Cervantes, analyzed blood samples from 892 individuals using epigenetic clocks to measure biological aging. 当父亲在15岁或15岁以下开始吸烟时,其影响最大,如果参与者自己吸烟,其影响也更大。 The effect was strongest when fathers began smoking at age 15 or younger and increased if the participants themselves smoked. 在怀孕前的孕妇吸烟方面没有发现任何重要联系。 No significant link was found for maternal smoking before pregnancy. 研究人员认为,在青春期吸烟可能会改变精子的遗传学,有可能将加速的衰老效应传给儿童。 Researchers suggest smoking during adolescence may alter sperm epigenetics, potentially passing accelerated aging effects to children. 调查结果突出了长期健康风险,包括较高的疾病风险,并强调需要在传统吸烟率不断下降的情况下加强青年吸烟和预防工作。 The findings highlight long-term health risks, including higher disease risks, and underscore the need for stronger youth tobacco and vaping prevention efforts despite declining traditional smoking rates.
