BBC 的菲利帕·罗克斯比 (Philippa Roxby) 写道，对 1,000 名出生于 1970 年代的新西兰人进行的测试发现，走路较慢的人往往会出现“加速衰老”的迹象。

They propose 12 hallmarks of ageing (see chart) chosen on the basis that they are all things which typically get worse with age, which accelerate ageing if stimulated and which seem to slow it down if treated.

他们提出了 12 个衰老标志（见图表），其选择依据是这些标志通常会随着年龄的增长而变得更糟，如果受到刺激就会加速衰老，如果接受治疗则似乎会减慢衰老速度。
