Biological age acceleration associated with mental and behavioural disorders: Evidence from the UK biobank cohort

Key Points

• Biological age acceleration is significantly associated with various mental disorders, suggesting its role as a potential marker.
• Participants with accelerated biological age showed a 30% higher prevalence of behavioral disorders than those with normal age progression.
• Analysis of registry records from the UK Biobank demonstrates the relationship between biological age and mental health status.
• Highlighting the need for further investigation into biological age as a predictor for mental health outcomes.
