The equation in the subsection of the Methods section titled “Phenotypic Age” is missing a step which makes it impossible to resolve. The equation should read:

PhenotypicAge=141.50+ln[0.00553×ln(1M)]0.09165

Where:

M=1exp(1.51714×exp(xb)0.0076927)

and:

xb=19.9070.0336×Albumin+0.0095×Creatinine+0.1953×Glucose+0.0954×ln(CRP)0.0120×LymphocytePercent+0.0268×MeanCellVolume+0.3306×RedCellDistributionWidth+0.00188×AlkalinePhosphatase+0.0554×WhiteBloodCellCount+0.0804×ChronologicalAge
