Cancer rates are rising in adults under 55, and new research suggests accelerated biological aging may be one piece of the puzzle.

Greater biological age acceleration was linked to a higher risk of early onset cancers, with specific patterns seen for lung, gastrointestinal, uterine and colorectal cancers.
