A study published in Nature Medicine reports sex-specific biological aging clocks across organs and omics, revealing disease-relevant differences.

What it means

This study, published in Nature Medicine, constructs biological aging clocks that are tailored to specific organs (e.g., heart, kidney) and molecular data types (e.g., proteomics, metabolomics), and does so separately for females and males. It finds that the rate and pattern of aging differ between sexes in an organ-specific manner, and these differences are associated with distinct disease risks, suggesting that sex should be a key factor in aging research and personalized medicine.

Accuracy & sourcesGrounded
