The Exact Age When Your Unhealthy Bad Habits Catch Up with You

There’s a new study out, where researchers say they may have pinpointed the exact age when bad habits like smoking, drinking, and not exercising start to trigger health problems.  It’s 36. Scientists tracked the health of hundreds of children born in 1959 until they were 61.  They found that those who regularly smoked, boozed, and lounged around in their younger years ended up sicker and more depressed.

And on average, those people’s health started to decline at the age of 36. One researcher says, “Our findings highlight the importance of tackling risky health behaviors as early as possible, to prevent damage from building up over the years.”
