Globally trained model predicts age in new heart recordings

In 14,462 independent recordings, predicted and actual ages had a correlation of 0.90, outperforming another model design and a model trained on a more uniform…In 14,462 independent recordings, predicted and actual ages had a correlation of 0.90, outperforming another model design and a model trained on a more uniform population.

Informal care is linked to less heart disease in older adults

Providing informal care was associated with 15% lower odds of cardiovascular disease, with a prevalence of 8.8% in carers compared to 12.8% in non-carers.Providing informal care was associated with 15% lower odds of cardiovascular disease, with a prevalence of 8.8% in carers compared to 12.8% in non-carers.

Human aortic elastin degrades with age in males but not females

In 17 human thoracic aorta samples, elastin stiffness, straightness, and lamellar length decreased significantly with age in males (p < 0.05) but not females.In 17 human thoracic aorta samples, elastin stiffness, straightness, and lamellar length decreased significantly with age in males (p < 0.05) but not females.
