Primary Equation

CardioMetAgePredict = 0.831320×age + 19.5734×log(HbA1c+1) + 1.77394×RDW + 0.0760217×SBP
+ 6.18803×creatinine - 0.148076×lymphocyte% + 0.218946×MCV + 0.105980×pulse
+ 0.0603608×PP + 0.636711×UA + 2.40001×log(CRP+1) + 0.0283277×WC + 0.0754119×BUN - 101.454

Dev Parameters and Scope

In the paper, CardioMetAgeDev is defined as a residual from regressing predicted age on chronological age.

Deployable alpha and beta coefficients are not explicitly listed in the main text. This interface uses transparent defaults: alpha = 0, beta = 1.
