Can we measure how quickly organisms age? Short, inviting preview of a science piece proposing a panel of indicators to flag slower aging states.

Can we measure how fast aging is happening?
Key Takeaways
  • A proposed panel of 12 aging rate indicators (ARIs) aims to detect whether interventions induce a slow-aging state faster than lifespan studies.
  • ARIs are intended as a screening tool to prioritize interventions by revealing changes in aging rate before committing to long, costly lifespan experiments.
  • Substantial validation, independent replication, and development of blood-measurable ARIs are required before translating this approach to human trials.
