Retinal age gap

1. Retinal age gap is associated with cardiovascular disease in humans.

   “The resulting retinal age gap, i.e. the difference between predicted and chronological age, is associated with cardiometabolic traits, inflammation, cognitive performance, all-cause mortality, dementia, cancer, and incident cardiovascular disease.”
