Oral microbiome signatures predict biological age and host health
), and enhanced risk prediction for cancer (AUC 0.70 vs. 0.67, P = 0.009) and heart attack (AUC 0.79 vs. 0.76, P = 0.016) beyond conventional risk factors. Diet and medication had minimal association. The OMAA Score offers a scalable, non-invasive tool to identify high-risk individuals for age-related morbidity and mortality.
