Personalized score uses ten blood markers to flag disease risk and assess healthy aging
Studies conducted in various countries indicate that approximately 60% of people over age 65 currently live with two or more chronic conditions.
AI Summary
European researchers have developed a personalized health indicator that analyzes ten blood‑derived chemical markers to give a detailed snapshot of a patient’s metabolism. Presented by Joris Deelen of Leiden University Medical Center during FAPESP Week Netherlands, the score is intended as a general marker of health in middle age, allowing early identification of individuals on a healthy aging trajectory and those at higher risk of functional decline. The tool aims to counter the roughly 60 % prevalence of multiple chronic conditions among people over 65 and address the wide variation in healthy life expectancy across Europe.
