flag A new blood test predicts 5- to 10-year mortality risk by measuring five proteins linked to inflammation and cancer.

flag A new blood test developed by University of Surrey researchers may predict an individual’s risk of dying within five to ten years by measuring levels of five key proteins—PLAUR, SERPINA3, CRIM1, DDR1, and LTBP2—linked to inflammation, cancer, and tissue repair. flag Analyzing data from over 38,000 UK Biobank participants, scientists found hundreds of proteins associated with mortality risk, even after accounting for smoking and pre-existing conditions. flag The results, published in PLoS One, suggest the test could enable early identification of high-risk individuals, supporting timely medical interventions and personalized care, though further validation is needed before clinical use.
