Glycan-based age improves mortality prediction discrimination in humans (AUC improvement of 0.032 over chronological age alone).

“In ORCADES, PlasmaAge , a glycan-based age, and their composite all predicted mortality, improving AUC over chronological age alone by 0.026, 0.032, and 0.041 respectively.”
