"Revolutionary Blood Test Predicts Organ Aging and Disease Risk"

TL;DR Summary
Researchers from Stanford Medicine have conducted a study suggesting that a simple blood test could identify organs that are aging faster than the rest of the body, leading to greater risks of associated diseases and complications. By assessing the levels of thousands of proteins in the blood, the researchers were able to estimate the biological age of individual organs in apparently healthy individuals. The study found that those with more than one organ aging quickly had a significantly higher risk of death. The findings could potentially lead to early treatments and prevention measures before symptoms appear.
