The rate of aging, of course, is related to the level of medicine and life in general. In addition, let’s not forget about the development of the cosmetics industry.

A study published in 2018 examined biological aging across generations by measuring blood pressure and lung function between 1988 and 2010. Even in this short time, significant differences in aging were discovered: later generations were biologically younger than their predecessors.
There is one more nuance. “Our perception of age is influenced by subjective perception,” explains Michael Stevens on the Vsauce YouTube channel. “The clothes and hairstyles seem outdated and add age to representatives of past generations in the eyes of contemporaries.” According to him, any person from retro photographs will certainly seem younger if he is placed in a modern setting in a photo editor.
