Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Rates of aging vary markedly among individuals, and biological age serves as a more reliable predictor of current health status than does chronological age. As such, the ability to predict biological age can support appropriate and timely active interventions aimed at improving coping with the aging process. However, the aging process is highly complex and multifactorial. Therefore, it is more scientific to construct a prediction model for biological age from multiple dimensions systematically.
