Selfie could say how long you'll live - as truth about Paul Rudd's age unveiled
The new FaceAge AI tool can reveal your 'biological age' as researchers use it to compare Hollywood actors Paul Rudd and Wilford Brimley at the age of 50 - with wildly different results A quick selfie could reveal to doctors how healthy someone is and how long they will live. A new FaceAge AI tool can estimate a person's 'biological age' - as opposed to their actual age - by scanning an image of their face to predict the survival chances of cancer patients. Scientists say people age at different rates so their physical appearance may help give insights into how old a person is physiologically. This biological age is based on many factors including lifestyle and genetics and can predict overall health and life expectancy. Researchers from Mass General Brigham network of hospitals in the US trained their algorithm using 59,000 photos. Author Dr Hugo Aerts said: "Our study now has shown for the first time that we can really use AI to turn a selfie into a real biomarker source of ageing. The impact can be very large, because we now have a way to actually very easily monitor a patient's health status continuously and this could help us to better predict the risk of death or complications after, say, for example, a major surgery or other treatments.' Scientists wanted to examine whether biological age could be examined based on how a person looks. This is similar to what doctors call the "eyeball test" - whereby certain judgments are made based on how a person looks, such as whether or not someone could undergo intensive cancer treatment based on how frail they appear to be. But the research team said their 'deep learning' FaceAge tool went beyond this when used on 6,200 patients with cancer using images taken at the start of their treatment. The academics found that the biological age of patients with cancer was, on average, five years older than chronological age. The findings, published in the journal Lancet Digital Health, showed that older FaceAge readings were associated with worse survival outcomes among patients with cancer, especially in people who had a FaceAge older than 85 years old. The research team published an example referencing a popular online meme showing how the tool assessed the biological age of Hollywood actors Paul Rudd and Wilford Brimley based on photographs of the men when they were both 50 years old. Rudd's biological age was calculated to be 42.6, while Brimley, who died in 2020, was assessed to have a biological age of 69. Paul Rudd, now aged 56, appeared in the TV series Friends and films including Anchorman, 40-Year-Old Virgin and Ant Man. Wilford Brimley appeared in films including The China Syndrome in 1979, The Thing in 1982, Tender Mercies in 1983, The Natural in 1984 and Cocoon in 1985. Dr Ray Mak, co-senior author on the paper, said the selfie tool could be used by medics as "another piece of the puzzle like vital signs, lab results or medical imaging". He said: "We have demonstrated that AI can turn a simple face photo into an objective measure of biological age, that clinicians can use to personalised care for patients, like having another vital sign data point. "We want to be clear that we view AI tools like FaceAge as assistance provide decision support and not replacements for clinician judgment." More studies assessing FaceAge are under way, including whether it could be used for other conditions or diseases and what impact things like cosmetic surgery or Botox have on the tool.

Movie Review: 'Kinda Pregnant' is kinda good
We have by now become accustomed to the lengths some movie characters will go to keep a good comedy lie going. But it's still a special kind of feat when Amy Schumer, playing a baby-mad single woman who fakes a baby bump in 'Kinda Pregnant,' is so desperate to maintain the fiction that she shoves a roast turkey up her dress. You might be thinking: This is too ridiculous. The stuffing, alone. But if we bought 'Some Like it Hot' and 'Mrs. Doubtfire,' I see no reason to quibble with the set-up of 'Kinda Pregnant,' a funny and often perceptive satire on motherhood, both real and pretend. 'Kinda Pregnant,' which debuted Wednesday on Netflix, is a kinda throwback comedy. Like '40-Year-Old Virgin' and 'Wedding Crashers,' you can basically get the movie just from its title. But like any good high-concept comedy, 'Kinda Pregnant' is predominantly a far-fetched way for its star and co-writer, Schumer, to riff frankly on her chosen topic. Here, that's the wide gamut of pregnancy experience — the body changes, the gender reveal parties, the personal jealousies — all while mixing in a healthy amount of pseudo-pregnant pratfalls. It's been a decade since Schumer was essentially launched as a movie star in the 2015 Judd Apatow-directed 'Trainwreck.' But 'Kinda Pregnant,' which Schumer wrote with Julie Paiva, almost as adeptly channels Schumer's comic voice — the one that made the sketch series 'Inside Amy Schumer' so great. The movie's opening flashes back to Lainy (Schumer) as a child playing with dolls and imagining herself a mother-to-be. So committed is she to the role that Lainy, in mock-labor, screams at her friend and then politely apologies: 'Sorry, but the expectant mother often lashes out at her support system.' But as middle age approaches, Lainy, a high school teacher in Brooklyn, isn't close to her dream. At the dinner where she suspects — no, is so certain that she tears open the dessert looking for a ring — that her longtime boyfriend (Damon Wayans Jr.) is going to pop the question, he instead asks her to join a threesome. Back at school, Lainy's school lesson on 'Romeo and Juliet' turns darkly cynical. Things are even worse when Lainy's married best friend (Jillian Bell) divulges that she's pregnant. 'Get rid of it!' blurts Lainy before apologizing. When the pair later go clothes shopping, Lainy absentmindedly tries on belly padding. The saleswoman is instantly nice to her, offering a burrito and a foot rub. 'Who's the father?' she asks. 'Doordash,' responds Lainy before adding, 'driver.' Much of the fun in 'Kinda Pregnant' is watching Lainy come up with increasingly ridiculous lies as she tries to pull off the pregnant act. (After accidentally picking Thanksgiving as her time of inception, Lainy digs a deeper hole by suggesting it happened at 'a Black Friday Eve sale.') But the ruse becomes more difficult when she, during a pregnant workout class, meets a woman (Brianne Howey, refreshingly authentic) she genuinely likes and wants to be friends with. Even more complicated: Lainy starts falling for another guy she first meets at a coffee shop ( Will Forte ). In a movie filled with funny people (others include Urzila Carlson as a guidance counselor, and Alex Moffat as a idiotic father-to-be), Forte is an especially good presence in 'Kinda Pregnant.' For a performer of such madcap absurdity, Forte fits in remarkably naturally in a more rom-com setting. He's also got a wonderfully ridiculous occupation, even by rom-com standards, driving a Zamboni in Central Park. You can probably guess how 'Kinda Pregnant' goes from here. Director Tyler Spindel, nephew to Adam Sandler (a producer on the film), doesn't do anything to advance the movie comedy, a languishing proposition in recent years with few big-screen exceptions. But he crucially gives his performers plenty of space to be themselves, and Lainy's desperate desire to have a family comes across as both over-the-top and genuine. If 'Knocked Up' captured the comedy of getting unexpectedly pregnant, 'Kinda Pregnant' embodies the pain of wishing you were. 'Kinda Pregnant,' a Netflix release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association for sexual content, language throughout and drug use. Running time: 97 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.
