FEBRUARY 9, 2021

A combined score of biological aging shows stronger links with physical and mental health than individual indicators A ‘biological age’ score predicts that being male, overweight, a smoker and having depression all contribute to biological aging, a study published today in eLife reports. Aging can be measured in different ways.
