Paper

Abstract

Studies regarding the integration of various biological aging (BA) markers and their predictive values for long-term mortality risk remain limited, particularly in Asian older adults. We evaluated the associations of multiple BA markers with overall and cause-specific mortality over a 20-year period.

Research summary

The paper evaluates the associations of multiple biological aging markers with overall and cause-specific mortality in older adults. This research is relevant as it explores biological aging markers, which are directly linked to understanding and potentially mitigating the effects of aging.
