Younger competition challenges participants to reverse biological age

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new competition called Younger aims to reverse biological aging, with around 500 participants attempting to lower their biological age over six months. The contest, founded by neuroscientist Christin Glorioso, seeks to clarify the function of various "aging clocks" and generate a comprehensive dataset on biological age. Participants will use multiple methods to track their progress, including epigenetic testing, cognitive assessments, and facial age estimation. AI
