Your skin microbiome can be used to predict your age
As we age, our skin changes, and so too do the bugs that live there
AI developed to predict age based on gut, skin and mouth microbiomes
A new tool has been developed that can effectively predict a person’s chronological age based on a microbiome sample. The tool, developed in collaboration between UC San Diego and IBM researchers, is most accurate at predicting a person’s age when using a skin microbiome sample.
More than Just a Carnival Trick: Researchers Can Guess Your Age Based on Your Microbes
New understanding of how our microbiomes change as we age sets the stage for future research on the role microbes play in accelerating or decelerating the aging process and influencing age-related diseases
Predicting your age from your skin, mouth and gut microbiome
Just say aah: The bugs living on your skin, and in your mouth and gut could reveal your age.
