Abstract
Phenotypic biological aging measures may provide a better reflection of surgical vulnerability than chronological age.
- Chronological age alone does not fully account for differences in physiological reserve among individuals.
- Phenotypic biological aging measures use clinical biomarkers to quantify biological age.
- The study aimed to compare the predictive value of biological age versus chronological age for outcomes in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients.
- Functional and perioperative outcomes were the primary focus of this comparison.
