  • Patent number: 12080432
    Abstract: Chronological age is an important predictor of morbidity and mortality, however it is unable to account for heterogeneity in the decline of physiological function and health with advancing age. Several attempts have been made to instead define a “biological age” using multiple physiological parameters in order to account for variation in the trajectory of human aging; however, these methods require technical expertise and are likely too time-intensive and costly to be implemented into clinical practice. Accordingly, a metabolomic signature of biological aging was developed that can predict changes in physiological function with the convenience of a blood sample. A weighted model of biological age was generated based on multiple clinical and physiological measures in a large group of healthy adults and was then applied to a cohort of healthy older adults who were tracked longitudinally over a 5-10 year timeframe.
