Age is more than just a number: Machine learning may predict if you're in for a healthy old age

(Salk Institute) A collaborative team at the Salk Institute analyzed skin cells from the very young to the very old and looked for molecular signatures that can be predictive of age. By applying machine-learning algorithms to these biomarkers, they were able to predict a person's actual age with less than eight years error, on average.
