dunedinpace

Whole-blood elastic-net pace-of-aging biomarker trained at age 45 against a 20-year longitudinal slope composite of 19 organ-system biomarkers. PyAging follows the official 20,000-probe quantile-normalization panel: 173 scoring CpGs plus 19,827 background probes.

Model weights retain the original authors' terms; the pyaging software license does not relicense them. These weights are restricted to research use under the authors' terms.
