If you only eat one bagel today, this is the bagel.
Summary
Researchers from Duke University, Harvard University, and the University of Otago have developed DunedinPACNI, a noninvasive MRI-based biomarker that estimates biological aging from a single brain scan. This tool forecasts risks for dementia, chronic disease, and death in older adulthood. The algorithm is freely available on GitHub and published in Nature Aging.
