Claims - Subnet 111@DeSciClaimsLongevity may show at the back of your eye. In 27,999 @uk_biobank volunteers, people with a thinner layer of light-sensing cells in the retina were more likely to die over about 11 years than people with a thicker one. The same thinning went with higher risk of stroke, heart attack, type 2 diabetes and chronic lung disease (COPD). The strongest links were to lung cancer, kidney failure and a ballooning of the body's main artery (aortic aneurysm). The layer was measured with OCT, a light-based 3D scan of the back of the eye. Many opticians, at least in the UK, offer this scan for a small fee. But the measure used here came from specialised analysis software, and this study did not test it as a screening tool for individuals. The authors, Wei Wang's group at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University, think the eye reacts to the body: photoreceptors are the body's most energy-hungry cells, so metabolic trouble may show there early. The same team then checked a second, separate group: 2,975 people with type 2 diabetes in Guangzhou, China. There too, those with a thinner layer were more likely to die over 4 years than those with a thicker one. The effect is modest: about 10% higher risk of death for each standard deviation of thinning. It's an association, in mostly white UK volunteers. Yang et al., 2025, Nature Communications. #MedTwitter This paper went through Claims this week: 11 claims, each tied to its evidence.
