Associations of biological aging and biological age acceleration with mortality in patients with cardiorenal syndrome: A prospective cohort study.

Key takeaways

People with heart-kidney syndrome who showed signs of faster biological aging — measured by how much their body age exceeded their real age — were more likely to die during the study. The study tracked over 10,000 adults from national health surveys between 1999 and 2018, but because it only observed people over time and did not change their aging rate, it shows a link, not proof that slowing aging would lower death risk.
