The “cognitive clock”: A novel indicator of brain health

We identified a “cognitive clock,” a novel indicator of brain health that provides person‐specific estimates of cognitive age, and tested the hypothesis that cognitive age is a better predictor of brain health than chronological age in two independent datasets.
