Brain-based marker linked to faster aging over time
An observational analysis of two midlife cohorts linked a brain-imaging marker to accelerated biological aging over 7–15 years.An observational analysis of two midlife cohorts linked a brain-imaging marker to accelerated biological aging over 7–15 years.
