AI-powered model using chest Xrays helps develop biomarkers for aging. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed an AI model that accurately estimates a patient’s age, using chest radiographs of healthy individuals collected from multiple facilities...

Scientists have developed a method that can determine an organism’s biological age with unprecedented precision. Researchers expect new insights into how the environment, nutrition, and therapies influence the aging process.

Using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, researchers at the University of Cologne have developed an ‘aging clock’ that reads the biological age of an organism directly from its gene expression, the transcriptome...

Some people appear to be considerably younger or older than their chronological age. Genetic signatures that may help explain this have been discovered by scientists at the Salk Institute. The age-associated genetic patterns were found by analyzing skin cells from people of various ages, according to a study by Salk Institute scientists.

Researchers then applied the results to detect genetic signs of accelerated aging in people with progeria, a disease that causes patients to appear far older than their chronological age...

Accelerated ageing and renal dysfunction links lower socioeconomic status and dietary phosphate intake especially in red meat

A diet containing too much red meat and not enough fruit and vegetables could increase your body’s ‘biological age’ and contribute to health problems. Research led by University of Glasgow has found a moderate increase in serum phosphate levels caused by red meat consumption, combined with a poor overall diet, increases biological age in contrast to chronological age.

The study, which looked at participants from most to least deprived in the NHS Greater Glasgow Health Board area, also demonstrates deprived males were the worst affected...
