Deep learning predicts mortality from skin biopsy images

Researchers have developed a contrastive deep learning model capable of determining an individual's age solely from histopathological skin biopsy images. This model can also construct a novel biomarker of aging using visual features from these biopsies. When correlated with health registers, this biomarker has been shown to predict mortality and the prevalence of chronic age-related diseases, highlighting the potential of combining deep learning with routinely collected health data for improved health insights.

    Contrastive Deep Learning Reveals Age Biomarkers in Histopathological Skin Biopsies

    arXiv:2411.16956v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As global life expectancy increases, so does the burden of chronic diseases, yet individuals exhibit considerable variability in the rate at which they age. Identifying biomarkers that distinguish fast from slow ageing is …
