What Is Werner Syndrome?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Preventing ageing is one of the holy grails of science, but we are still far from a solution. Modern medicine does help us to live for longer, however, and also more healthily. We can even slow down the appearance of ageing if we take good care of our bodies. From some people, however, ageing is something that will happen sooner rather than later.
Werner syndrome is a condition that causes people to age considerably faster than they otherwise would. It can cause people to appear to be old even when they are quite young. It can also cause other symptoms that can affect the patient’s quality of life, and their life expectancy will be lower than normal.
