Article Synopsis
- The review explores the concept of retinal age as a new biomarker derived from retinal images that can help estimate biological age and assess deviations from normal aging through a metric called retinal age gap (RAG).
- It analyzes 13 recent studies from 2022 to 2023, identifying four different models that accurately predict biological age using retinal images, with similar performance metrics indicating their potential utility.
- The findings suggest that higher RAG is linked to negative health outcomes, such as increased mortality and cardiovascular issues, and emphasize the need for more research to confirm the clinical application of these tools, especially in neuropsychiatry.
