Is your brain aging faster than your chronological age? New research shows it could raise your risk of death and dementia significantly—and offers promise for early intervention.

Using machine learning, researchers developed a brain age prediction model to review participants' brain scans and determine the predicted biological brain age of each participant.

A study suggests that a single brain MRI can be used to predict a person's rate of aging across their whole body, which ...

Your walking pace reveals your brain’s health and your overall age. Midlife speed tests link slower miles per hour to brain ...
