New TGAge aging clock uses foundation models for assisted living residents

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed TGAge, a novel biological aging clock designed for residents of assisted living facilities. This clock utilizes a tabular foundation model to predict mortality risk from standard clinical measurements, converting this into biological age acceleration via the Gompertz law. TGAge demonstrated superior performance in survival prediction compared to existing clinical indices and biological aging clocks, and its derived age acceleration showed significant links to various aging-related comorbidities.

    TGAge: A Phenotypic Aging Clock Based on Tabular Foundation Models and the Gompertz Law for Assisted Living Facility Residents

    arXiv:2610.32994v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Biological age captures overall health status beyond chronological age, yet existing biological aging clocks are difficult to apply to assisted living facility (ALF) residents due to scarce epigenetic data. We propose TGAge, a sec…
