Artificial intelligence can tell a person’s “real” age simply by looking at their chest.
Scientists say the breakthrough marks a “leap” in medical imaging and paves the way for early detection of potentially deadly diseases.
Study leader Yasuhito Mitsuyama, of Japan’s Osaka Metropolitan University said: “Chronological age is one of the most critical factors in medicine.

"Our results suggest chest radiography-based apparent age may accurately reflect health conditions beyond chronological age.”
He added: “We aim to further develop this research and apply it to estimate the severity of chronic diseases, to predict life expectancy and to forecast possible surgical complications.”
The research team first constructed a deep learning-based AI model to estimate age from chest radiographs of healthy people.
They then applied the model to radiographs of patients with known diseases to analyse the relationship between AI-estimated age and each disease.
The higher the AI-estimated age compared to the chronological age, the more likely people were to have these diseases.
Meanwhile, an ex-marine who ditched the military after her nudes were leaked has shared a 'scary AI' warning.
Taylor Gunner, 29, started making adult films full-time after her ex-boyfriend leaked her explicit snaps online.
Now she campaigns for better protection for women who have been victims of revenge porn and spoke about her fears over deepfakes as artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more advanced.
She said: ""Deepfakes are crazy. [They're] changing the industry for sure.

"AI has come so far that it is kind of scary.
"But also, it's never going to be perfect. There's always going to be something a little bit off about it in my opinion, you can kind of tell if something's AI.
"But I don't really know, nobody would have thought the technology [would be] where it's at now 10 years ago, so I guess we'll see.
"The whole thing was very shocking."
