A doctor in the United Arab Emirates, a country in the Middle East, has revealed that while she is in her 50s, her biological age is just 28. Dr Mariam Matar further claimed that the age of her organs – kidneys, liver, and heart – is only 16, according to a report by Khaleej Times.
‘Age of kidney, liver, and heart is 16’
She shared this information with the world during a panel discussion at the 6th edition of the Women in Technology Forum.
“The biological age of my body is 28. However, the biological age of my kidney, liver, and heart is 16. It’s technology. It’s evidence-based. It’s a real science where you can measure the biological age of your cells,” she was quoted by the outlet as saying.
She went on to credit regenerative medicine and advanced technology for her remarkably low biological age, adding that, on average, women live five years longer than men.
She also pointed to differences in genetic design between men and women.
“Women are biologically superior in intelligence and longevity,” she stated, before explaining, “Biologically, women inherit two X chromosomes (XX), one from each parent, while males typically inherit one X chromosome from their dear mother. This genetic advantage means that if one is not working, the other one will switch on.”
She went on to claim, “Any female who was born in 2021 will live to the age of 97 if she takes care of herself.”
Late motherhood contributes to longevity
On the subject of motherhood, Dr Matar said that late pregnancies may contribute to longevity. She explained that women who give birth at 42 often live longer and healthier lives compared to those whose last child is born at 28.
She also dismissed a misconception around pregnancy, stating that women can safely carry a child even at the age of 46.
