How the speed of face aging measures biological age and predicts cancer outcomes
Updated
Abstract
Essence
Faster facially estimated biological aging was associated with worse survival among cancer patients receiving radiation therapy.
Evidence
This retrospective prognostic analysis used serial clinical facial photographs from 2276 cancer patients and found higher Face Aging Rate linked to worse overall survival across short, mid, and long photograph intervals.
Caveat
The biomarker was tested observationally in radiation-therapy patients using routine photographs, so it adds prognostic information but does not show that altering Face Aging Rate changes outcomes.
