Article Synopsis
- Biological age is a better indicator of health than chronological age and can be estimated using blood-based biomarkers; this study focuses on improving this estimation with machine learning.
- Using data from over 306,000 participants, researchers developed an Elastic-Net Cox model that predicts mortality risk, achieving a higher predictive accuracy than a popular existing model (PhenoAge).
- The study concludes that a practical method for estimating biological age, which can vary significantly from chronological age, is feasible and can be made accessible to the general public through common clinical assays.
