Google's New AI Research Uses Deep Learning on Retinal Pictures to Create an Age Predictor - La veille de la cybersécurité

The physiologic and molecular changes associated with becoming older raise a person's odds of being sick and dying. Researchers can find ways to lessen the prevalence and severity of diseases by measuring and estimating the biological markers of aging. To distinguish between a person's biological age and their chronological age, scientists have devised "aging clocks" that use biomarkers like blood proteins or DNA methylation to estimate a person's biological age. These aging clocks can estimate the risk of developing an age-related illness. However, due to the need for a blood sample, other methods of locating equivalent measurements may make aging data more accessible.
