the claim

Fingernails grow faster as people age.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that fingernails grow faster as people age?

Unclear. Two sources bear on the claim: a 2010 study of healthy young American adults found younger age associated with faster nail growth (not statistically significant), and a 1924 newspaper report states children's nails grow faster than adults'. Both point against the claim, but neither covers the full age range or settles it.
