A genome-wide analysis of brain age has identified associated loci and revealed relationships with mental and physical health. The study found 59 associated loci, although other related research has identified varying numbers of loci associated with different health conditions, including mental health disorders and chronic pain. The findings suggest a complex genetic architecture underlying brain age and its connections to various health traits.
