Major depressive disorder

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Major depressive disorder increases AgeAccelGrim in humans (median of 2 years of excess cellular aging, p = 0.001).

    “individuals with MDD exhibited significantly greater GrimAge relative to their chronological age ('AgeAccelGrim') compared to healthy controls (p = 0.001)”

Cognitive function

downin humans1

1 study
  1. AgeAccelGrim is associated with cognitive function in humans (β=-0.088, p = 0.018).

    “higher AgeAccelGrim was associated with worse cognitive function in multiple domains (short-term affective memory (β=-0.078, p = 0.030), short-term non-affective memory (β=-0.088, p = 0.018)”

Comorbidity count

upin humans1

1 study
  1. AgeAccelGrim is associated with comorbidity count in humans (P=3.45E-17).

    “AgeAccelGrim is strongly associated with a host of age-related conditions including comorbidity count (P=3.45E-17)”
