As the global aging problem intensifies, the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer’s Disease, AD) is increasing year by year. Brain aging (Brain Aging, BA) is one of the significant risk factors for neurodegenerative diseases, but it does not completely align with chronological age (Chronological Age, CA). Traditional methods f...
