Abstract
The chronologic ages of human subjects were determined experimentally by enzymatic digestion of tendon collagen samples. Determined age closely matched actual age for individuals dying with a variety of major diseases. Juvenile diabetics did not fit this pattern; their experimentally determined ages were significantly greater than their actual ages. This raises the possibility of relationships between diabetes mellitus, changes in connective tissue, and accelerated aging.Entities:
