Aging is the primary driver of chronic disease and mortality, requiring comprehensive frameworks for quantification of aging and nomination of longevity interventions. We developed mAge (multimodal age), a biological aging framework that integrates plasma proteomics, wearables, and mortality hazard to predict biological age, intrinsic capacity, and mortality risk. By combining proteomic and wearable data in UK Biobank samples, mAge exceeds unimodal baseline age prediction to 0.87 test R{superscript 2} and 2.3 years mean error, and reduces unimodal baseline mortality prediction error by 21%. We further constructed organ-and cell type-specific biological clocks that quantify aging across 49 distinct subsystems, revealing that cardiac, immune, and intracellular protein signatures benefit most from wearable integration. By mapping data to FDA-approved drug targets, we identified interventions, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, gabapentin, and ACE inhibitors, that are associated with lower overall and subsystem-specific proteomic age and mortality risk or are associated with longer time-to-death and later age-at-death in longitudinal and deceased cohorts. mAge establishes a scalable framework for nominating and validating personalized longevity interventions, bridging continuous digital monitoring with molecular aging diagnostics.

"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.
