Face scans show how fast a person is aging

TUESDAY, March 31, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Every face tells a story, and that story apparently includes hints of how quickly a person is aging, a new study contends.

Facial features have proven even more reliable than blood tests in spotting those for whom time is taking a heavier toll, a Chinese research team reports in the March 31 issue of the journal Cell Research.

A computerized 3-D facial imaging process uncovered a number of "tells" that show if a person is aging more rapidly, including a widening mouth, bulging nose, sagging upper lip, shrinking gums and drooping eye corners, the researchers said.

"This suggests not only that youth is 'skin deep,' but also that health is 'written' on the face," the study authors concluded, suggesting that facial scanning could more accurately assess a person's general health than a routine physical exam...

The technology is very accurate, but not foolproof. A scan was conducted on Hillary Clinton's face and she was ruled deceased ;-)...

Hasn’t the morphing tool been around for about twenty years ?

I can remember being in high school and first hearing of the talking point of comparing a photo of an U.S. President taken when he was first inaugurated with one taken near the end of his term to see how they’ve aged in office (classic ones like Lincoln, Roosevelt, Johnson, Nixon, Carter, and even Clinton come to my mind). I’d hate to see how this phenomena takes place with Hillary, lol.

In Obamacare-land, if you’re found to be aging
quickly, then just take the pill. If you’re
aging slowly, do nothing.

In either case, you don’t only deserve to pay
into the system, not take anything out of it.

"A scan was conducted on Hillary Clinton's face and she was ruled deceased ;-)..."

Yes, but the rest of the report said that she was likely to remain in an undead state for ever if she got enough blood.

In general I believe this to be true with the exception of Cancer. Cancer is a sneaky bugger, you can look perfectly young and healthy, and be dead a month later.

"Cancer is a sneaky bugger, you can look perfectly young and healthy, and be dead a month later."

Tragically, I know this for a fact.

same here..

my mom never had even a wrinkle and had barely any gray at 70 and was the picture of health, was active happy and doing all sorts of stuff. She went into the doctor with a small pain, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and was dead less than a month later. She NEVER even looked sick. I remember looking at her at the viewing and thinking... she still doesn’t look the slightest bit sick even after she was gone.

Is this a recent pic? I’m surprised she hasn’t opted to have any work done... at the very least a lower facelift and eyelid surgery. Well we’ll see what she like once she announces...
