Accelerated Biological Aging Associated With 35% Higher Endometriosis Risk
24 Jul 2025 • A study of 46,371 women followed for a median of 12.5 years found that accelerated biological aging, measured by Phenotypic Age (PhenoAge), raised the risk of developing endometriosis by 35% versus peers aging normally.
High BMI further amplified this risk, though no significant subgroup interactions emerged.
Researchers suggest targeting biological aging as a modifiable factor for endometriosis prevention, emphasizing the value of maintaining a “biologically younger” profile in reproductive-age women.
