Fascinating discovery: A new study finds that ageing doesn't follow a one-size-fits-all model! It turns out, different organs age at varying rates within the same person. 🧐

Masentuneet joutuvat sairaalaan todennäköisemmin somaattisten syiden, kuten sydäntaudin, diabeteksen tai tule-sairauksien, kuin mielenterveyshäiriöiden vuoksi. Masennuksen hoito ehkäissee siis myös somaattisia sairaalajaksoja. Aineisto myös suomalaisesta #Kunta10 tutkimuksesta.

Depression is associated with 29 different 'physical' conditions requiring hospitalization.
