Before, 30-year-olds looked like they were 50. Is it true that we are aging more slowly?

The article explores whether people today really look younger than previous generations at the same age. Examples of celebrities who appear older than their years in old footage are cited. Israeli experts explain that there is no scientific confirmation, but factors such as smoking, sun exposure, fashion, and aesthetic procedures influence the perception of age.

The article examines the common impression that people in old photographs look older than their chronological age and seeks to determine whether modern individuals are indeed aging more slowly. It cites examples of celebrities: Jason Alexander was 29 in the early seasons of "Seinfeld," Sean Connery was 32 in "Dr. No," James Gandolfini was 37 in "The Sopranos," and Anne Bancroft was 35 in "The Graduate." Professor Zvi Ganel from Ben-Gurion University notes that there is no scientific confirmation of this theory yet. Dr. Nitzan Anav from Maccabi says that modern medications help maintain health, but obesity partially negates the effect. Dr. Doron Klein from Assuta Ashdod points to reduced smoking and the use of sunscreen as factors that slow skin aging. The article also discusses the influence of fashion, hairstyles, and glasses on the perception of age, as well as the growing popularity of aesthetic procedures such as Botox and fillers.
