Research shows MRI scans of patients' brains could be used to predict the risk of early death

The video discusses a study led by Dr. James Cole on determining brain age using MRI scans. It explains how brain age can indicate mental and physical health risks, and the potential for early diagnosis of degenerative diseases. The video highlights the importance of maintaining brain health through physical and mental activities. While brain age scans show promise, they are not yet ready for clinical practice.

What are some potential implications of having a brain age significantly older than chronological age?

What do researchers stress about the current state of brain age determination in clinical practice?
