New Delhi, Oct 25: In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers in Canada have found that retinal scans — images of the eye’s tiny blood vessels — could help predict heart disease risk and reveal how quickly a person is biologically ageing.

The study, published in the journal Science Advances, highlights how the retina may serve as a powerful, noninvasive “window” into the body’s vascular health, paving the way for earlier detection and prevention of age-related illnesses.

“By linking retinal scans, genetic data, and blood biomarkers, we’ve uncovered molecular pathways that show how ageing impacts the vascular system,” said Marie Pigeyre, Associate Professor at McMaster University’s Department of Medicine in Canada.

Pigeyre explained that the eye off
