AI's Chest X-ray Analysis Reveals Shocking Insights into Lifespan

Researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can estimate a person's biological age by analyzing chest X-rays. The study found that the higher the AI-estimated age compared to the person's actual age, the more likely they were to have chronic diseases such as hypertension, COPD, liver disease, lung disease, and chronic renal failure. The AI model could serve as an indicator for age-related diseases and aid in early detection and intervention, but further research is needed to confirm causality and compare it with other biological age markers.
