Machine learning methods for biological age estimation
Journal Title: Eye Science - Year 2024, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Age stands as a primary risk factor for diseases and disabilities among the elderly. To effectively assess the underlying aging processes, accurate measures of biological age and rates of aging across multiple levels of aging features are essential. Biological age derives from physiological assessments of systems and organs. It has emerged as a superior predictor of age-related diseases and mortality compared to chronological age. Recent advancements in machine learning have catalyzed the development of sophisticated models capable of quantitatively characterizing biological aging with different types of data. This review explores the machine learning models in advancing our understanding of biological aging, highlighting the potential of these innovative approaches to facilitate aging research and personalized healthcare strategies.

Stressful factors experienced by patients while waiting vitreo-retinal day surgery: a qualitative study
[Objective] The day surgery mode has significantly reduced preoperative waiting time for patients. However, this mode also led to brief and sometimes abrupt interactions between patients with vision loss and nursing staf...
Repositioning of the complete prolapsed silicone tube with modified suture-probe and silk thread traction method
The whole lacrimal passage intubation is widely used in lacrimal surgery. However, one of the most typical complications is the prolapse of the silicone tube from the medial canthus. In case, the bicanalicular silicone t...
