AI could predict true biological age from five drops of blood

Scientists at Osaka University in Japan have devised a new AI model to estimate a person’s biological age — a measure of how well their body has aged, rather than just counting the years since birth. Using just five drops of blood, this new method analyses 22 key steroids and their interactions to provide a more precise health assessment. The team’s breakthrough study, published in Science Advances, offers a potential step forward in personalised health management, allowing for earlier detection of age-related health risks and tailored interventions. “Our bodies rely on hormones to maintain homeostasis, so we thought, why not use these as key indicators of aging?” said Dr Qiuyi Wang, co-first author of the study. To test this idea, the research team focused on steroid hormones, whic...

Our Habitas Ras Abrouq hotel review: An indulgent solo trip in Qatar was the perfect de-stresser

But first, I head to Qissa, the hotel’s restaurant for breakfast. To get there from the villa, I follow a dusty path, lined with yellow jasmine and pink grasses.

I try one of the local specialities, labneh eggs with sourdough, and, as a white egret swoops over the sea, I switch off my phone. Source link

The state of mainstream music: They’re not making stars as big as they used to – National

Norma Desmond hit on something in the 1950 movie Sunset Boulevard. A silent film stars whose career had been decimated by talking pictures, she refused to change with the times. “I am big. It’s the pictures that got small,” she said. Fast-forward to today and that quote could be applied to the concept of mainstream music. We still have stars, but the mainstream got small.Let’s start by defining “mainstream.” These are the ideas, trends, attitudes and activities considered normal, known far and wide, and something in which virtually everyone partakes on some level. Put another way, if the average person knows about something in society, culture or politics, it is part of the mainstream and binds everyone together with common knowledge and attitudes.Before 2000, mainstream attitude dominated...

Number one, no sane person can do it, and number tw...
