Machine learning predicts brain vascular age from blood flow data

Researchers have developed a machine learning model using transcranial Doppler (TCD) data to predict brain vascular age and identify accelerated aging. The study analyzed TCD measurements from healthy subjects and those with various brain diseases, employing the Morphological Analysis and Clustering of Intracranial Pressure (MOCAIP) algorithm. The model, trained on healthy individuals, predicted an average cerebrovascular age 3.69 years older than chronological age for healthy subjects, with diseased subjects showing varying degrees of age acceleration.

    Brain Vascular Age Prediction Using Cerebral Blood Flow Velocity and Machine Learning Algorithms

    arXiv:2605.16969v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Defining vascular age in terms of physiological function has become one focal point of the extensive studies to categorize and track chronological age. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a method by which cerebral blood flow velocity…
