AI Tool FaceAge Predicts Biological Age and Survival Outcomes from Facial Photos

Researchers develop AI tool called FaceAge that predicts biological age and survival outcomes based on facial photos. Tool shows promising results in predicting age and life expectancy for cancer patients. More research needed before clinical use.

Using Facial Photos to Determine Biological Age for Cancer Treatment

A study suggests that taking a photo of someone's face can determine their biological age, which can help inform cancer treatment. An artificial intelligence tool called FaceAge estimates biological age based on lifestyle and genetics. The tool was trained using 59,000 photos and has shown potential in predicting health outcomes for patients with cancer.

New 'Body Clock' Tool Calculates Biological Age and Predicts Risk of Disability or Death

Researchers have developed a new 'body clock' tool that calculates people’s biological age and predicts the risk of disability or death. The Health Octo Tool uses eight metrics from physical exams and bloodwork to determine results, offering a comprehensive view of overall wellness. The tool focuses on 'health entropy' to assess aging rates of organ systems and the whole body. It aims to discover biomarkers for aging and therapeutics. A digital app is in development for individuals to track their biological age and the impact of lifestyle changes.

Accelerated Aging and Early-Onset Cancers

A study suggests that an increase in cancers among people under 55 may be related to accelerated aging in recent generations. Experts say more research is needed to fully understand this link.
