GlycA Levels Linked To Mortality Risk
Glycosylated hemoglobin (GlycA) levels are identified as a key marker of inflammation in the body. High GlycA levels signify increased inflammation, making individuals more vulnerable to infections and a range of diseases. Researchers found that GlycA is a more predictor of mortality risk within five years than cholesterol or other conventional health markers. Annual health checkups may soon include GlycA blood tests. The discussion follows the release of Cox's new book, The Age Code.
