An inflammatory marker, sCD14, may be a useful biomarker to assess risk of dementia and cognitive decline. Higher levels of sCD14 were linked to brain aging and injury, and declined executive functioning.

Alcohol consumption, even light to moderate, was linked to greater cancer risk, especially for cancers of the colorectum, stomach, breast, prostate, and esophagus, with lowest risk at zero alcohol.

A large study in the UK found that physical activity was linked to a 51% reduced risk of prostate cancer. The study didn't measure actual activity, but rather the genome variations associated with it.

A set of 373 proteins measured in plasma was able to predict age with accuracy, within 3 years. Those whose predicted age was lower than actual age were healthier for their age.
