Periorbital skin index as a biomarker for biological aging and health status
This study establishes 'periorbital skin age' as a non-invasive biomarker that effectively reflects both the progression of skin aging and underlying medical conditions. Our findings highlight the potential utility of eye-region skin assessment in clinical and health monitoring settings, offering a practical tool for evaluating physiological aging and disease risk.
