We tested this score in blood in two independent, larger cohorts and found no associations with age or related phenotypes, including strength, interleukin-6 or mortality.A response to: A novel multi-tissue RNA diagnostic of healthy ageing relates to cognitive health status by Sood S, Gallagher IJ, Lunnon K, Rullman E, Keohane A, Crossland H, et al.
