Summary
In this study, researchers from China, Australia, and Germany used deep learning to assess retinal age based on images of the back surface — called the fundus — of the eye.Dr. Howard R. The same processes that affect the retina vasculature can affect the entire body […] — damage to the retina tissue or blood vessels is often a sign of systemic disease.”He continued: “Further research is warranted to better understand aging processes and whether retinal imaging could be used to identify individual patients at higher risk for systemic disease or increased mortality.” Dr. Krauss echoed this view, telling MNT that the study has important implications.
