Diagnosing Aging: I. Problem of Reliability of Linear Regression Models of Biological Age

Abstract

Abstract-The problem of the reliability of linear regression models of biological age assessment was studied using an experimental population of patients of a geroprophylactic center. The main factors of the model quality (interpopulation difference, method of approximation of biological age, and methods of approximation of statistical significance of parameters of biological age models) were tested. New equations were derived for calculating biological age. All parameters of these equations meet the requirements of significance. It was shown that if the nonlinear character of age dynamics of biological markers of aging and the statistical significance of model parameter estimates are taken into account, the model of biological age is substantially simplified and its reliability increases
