Rulers and the rules of ageing

BBC World Service - Unexpected Elements, Rulers and the rules of ageing

Under the stress and strains of leadership, how might power affect youthfulness?

As France appoints a 34-year-old Prime Minister, we ask how stress and sleeplessness can age us and hear how measuring intelligence in young people isn't as easy as it might seem

As France's youthful new Prime Minister gets his feet under the desk, we examine how stress and strains can change the way we look. We also ask what the late nights and lack of sleep that go hand in hand with leadership can mean for the health of the human body and we hear how measuring intelligence in young people isn't as straightforward as it might seem.
