Scientists linked plant protein to reduced risk of sarcopenic obesity and slower biological aging

Chinese researchers analyzed data from more than 15 thousand people and found that active consumption of plant protein is associated with a reduced risk of sarcopenic obesity by approximately 14% and a biological age on average 10–11 months lower than the calculated value. No consistent association was found for animal protein. The results were published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition.

AI tools assess health status and risk of death from a single face photo

Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed AI tools FAHR-FaceAge and FAHR-FaceSurvival that assess biological age and survival of cancer patients from a single face photo. The survival model was trained on tens of thousands of images of cancer patients; the results are published in The Lancet Digital Health. The scientists emphasize: the technology requires further validation and is not ready for clinical use.
