Updated

Abstract

Biological age is a strong predictor of mortality across chronic diseases, but its specific value in COPD is still under investigation.

  • The study compares the predictive performance of various biological age biomarkers in patients with COPD.
  • An optimal biomarker for mortality risk prediction in COPD patients is sought.
  • The prognostic value of biological age in COPD patients remains inadequately defined.
