It’s said that the eyes are the window to the soul, but they may be a window to your health
By examining tiny vessels inside a person’s eyes, doctors might one day be able to predict that person’s risk of early death.
Though the risks of illness and early death generally increase with chronological age, that risk can vary quite a bit among individuals of the same age. That difference can be explained by a person’s ‘biological age’, which unlike chronological age ticks at an individual rate for each person depending on several health factors.
