# reedbmi
Weighted blood-DNA-methylation score built from published BMI EWAS effect estimates and evaluated across the ARIES life course; it is a biomarker associated with concurrent BMI, not a calibrated prediction in kilograms.
Model weights retain the original authors' terms; the pyaging software license does not relicense them.
