Faster biological aging is linked to quicker development of multiple health conditions
Updated
Abstract
Essence
Accelerated biological aging was linked to faster progression of multimorbidity in UK Biobank participants.
Evidence
This observational UK Biobank cohort study analyzed 317,835 participants over a median 13 years using Cox models for Charlson Comorbidity Index progression.
Caveat
The associations were modestly more predictive than chronological age and cannot establish that biological age acceleration causes multimorbidity progression.
