A Stanford Medicine-led study has found a way to predict which organs in individuals will fail first, which could lead to early interventions that would improve health and extend lives.

Researchers from California's Stanford University suggest that a blood test that measures organs' biological age may help prevent and forecast Alzheimer's disease.

Researchers believe a simple blood test could identify the organs that are aging more quickly. The risk of death was about 6.5 times greater than those with no organ aging quickly.

The 11 major organs analysed by scientists for ageing included brain, heart, liver, lung, intestine, kidney, fat, blood vessels, immune tissue, muscles and pancreas. According to the researchers, figuring out which organs were in "rapid decline" could reveal underlying health issues. TheHealthSite.com

New research finds that not all body parts necessarily age in unison — and that when certain organs advance more quickly than others, it can become a major health concern.

According to the latest Stanford Medicine study, accelerated organ aging and its associated disease risk can be seen through a simple blood test. They also have 6.5 times the mortality risk of a person who is not experiencing organ aging.

A certain organ or organs might be growing old faster than the rest of a person's body, placing them at increased risk for disease and death, a new study suggests.

A new study shows a blood test could indicate which organs are aging faster in the body - offering insights into life expectancy and health.

Proteins in blood reflect how well the brain, heart and other major organs are faring, say scientists.

US researchers say findings may also enable doctors to predict progression of Alzheimer’s disease
