Unsupervised learning of aging principles from longitudinal data

K. Avchaciov, M. P. Antoch, et al.

Discover the groundbreaking research from Konstantin Avchaciov, Marina P. Antoch, and their colleagues that unveils a revolutionary 'dynamic frailty indicator' (dFI) using advanced machine learning. This study reveals how dFI can predict lifespan and respond to both life-shortening and life-extending interventions, providing a crucial new marker for biological age.

Abstract
Age is the leading risk factor for prevalent diseases and death. This study combined analytical and machine learning tools to describe the aging process using longitudinal measurements. A deep artificial neural network, incorporating auto-encoder and auto-regression components, generated a "dynamic frailty indicator" (dFI). In mouse blood tests, dFI increased exponentially, predicted remaining lifespan, and correlated with aging hallmarks. It responded to life-shortening and life-extending treatments, suggesting its utility as a biological age marker.
