Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Both age and genetic risk are associated with risk of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA). This study seeks to explore the association between phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel), a novel biomarker of aging, and risk of TAA, as well as to conduct risk stratification for TAA based on PhenoAgeAccel and genetic risk. METHODS: A total of 406 750 participants from the prospective cohort of UK Biobank...
