A mathematical model that predicts human biological age from physiological traits identifies environmental and genetic factors that influence aging
2022-04-14
Abstract excerpt
Why people age at different rates is a fundamental, unsolved problem in biology. We created a model that predicts an individual’s age from physiological traits that change with age in the large UK Biobank dataset, such as blood pressure, lung function, strength and stimulus- reaction time. The model best predicted a person’s age when it heavily-weighted traits that together query multiple organ systems, arguing th...
