IntroductionUnderstanding the links between metabolism, ageing and age-related phenotypes may clarify the role of ageing in disease onset and improve risk prediction. MethodsWe conducted a cross-cohort assessment of biological age using broad-spectrum LC-MS metabolomics in 2,295 participants, aged 20-89, from the UK Airwave study (N=960) and The Irish Longitudinal Study of Ageing (N=1,335). ResultsN2,N2-dimethylguanosine, C-glycosyltryptophan, bile acid glucuronides, and zeta-carotene were associated with chronological age, frailty, and mortality. We developed a metabolomic clock that was highly predictive of chronological age (r = 0.92) in test samples. Metabolomic age acceleration was strongly correlated between study visits (r > 0.6). Each standard deviation higher metabolomic age acceleration ([~]5 years) was associated with 43% higher mortality risk, 27% higher risk of mild cognitive impairment, and 10% increased risk of a higher frailty score in fully adjusted models. DiscussionOur metabolomic clock provides a reproducible marker of generalised age-related disease risk.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
