All values were calculated by meta-analyses using a random-effects model with standardized regression coefficients and standard errors for phenotypes in each cohort using the R package metafor. In these regression analyses, the first regression model was used.

The first regression model: Each item (Age acceleration, GrimAge component, or GrimAge2 component) ~ Phenotype (controls or patients) + Age + Sex + DNAmPACKYRS.

I2 values were used to evaluate heterogeneity (0–40%, might not be important; 30–60%, may present moderate heterogeneity; 50–90%, may present substantial heterogeneity; 75–100%, considerable heterogeneity).
