Early cancer detection often leads to more and better treatment options and sometimes eve...🥃 Are you a glass half-full person? Or half-empty? I try to be positive and look for the positive.

Thanks for watching! xo #kickcancersbuttA new study debunks dog years 📋
You may have heard that every dog year is like 7 human years, so my 11 year old Matilda is 77, and 3 year old Penelope is 21, right?
Researchers at UC San Diego claim their genetic formula is more accurate than the traditional ratio if 1 to 7. I will be honest, the study is based on epigenetics - not my favorite topic (the study of gene expression). But they looked at a methylation-based formula and this epigenetic clock helps determine the age of the cell, tissue or organism. And the results are super interesting IMO.
Dogs age more rapidly especially when they are young, so a 1-year dog is more similar to a 30-year old person. I guess that makes sense when we remember a 9-month old dog can have puppies.
A 4-year old dog is similar to a 52-year old person. Then by age 7, dog aging slows.
Thanks to by JAVMA news for covering this. The article was published in the online journal Cell Systems if you want to check it out and you like epigenetics more than I do. What do you think? Drop a comment below. 👇🏼 @ Asharoken, New York
