THURSDAY, Nov. 16, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Don't want to look old before your time?
A new study suggests that heavy drinking and smoking -- besides posing serious health risks -- make people look older than they actually are.
The research tracked more than 11,500 Danish adults, aged 21 to 93, for an average of nearly 12 years. Women consumed, on average, 2.6 alcoholic drinks a week, and men consumed 11.4 drinks a week. Smokers included 57 percent of the women and 67 percent of the men.
