“Biological age” is kind of a worthless metric. You are as old as you are. 

But a new blood test can identify which of your organs are declining faster than the others — “organ age”

Understanding “accelerated ageing in specific organs can predict not only diseases affecting that organ, but diseases across the rest of the body as well.”

thank you for sharing! this is really interesting. it makes sense to think about individual parts within the collective machine we call our body. do you know how they are baselining the age data? are they using an average or a different method?

I believe it’s actually different for each organ. I only read the article — not the study — and in that they talk about how they used markers of aging unique to each organ to compare against. I believe there may have been some of these standards in place prior to this work
