"Biological age" is calculated using sebum RNA information that changes with aging. It is possible to estimate the degree of skin aging that differs for each individual.

 Sebum RNA monitoring technology

Kao Corporation (President: Yoshihiro Hasebe) The Institute of Biological Sciences calculates "biological age" by combining machine learning with the expression information of sebaceous RNA that fluctuates with aging, and individual skin aging varies. We have found the possibility of estimating the degree of progress.

The results of this research are the 21st Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Anti-Aging Medicine (held online in Kyoto, June 25-27, 2021) and the 86th SCCJ (Japan Cosmetic Engineers Association) Research Discussion Meeting (July 2021). It was announced online on the 15th of March) and won the Best Presentation Award at the SCCJ Research Discussion Meeting.

Aging is a phenomenon in which various functions of the body decline over time. However, even if the calendar age (years since birth) is the same, the degree of aging and the appearance of symptoms vary. Under such circumstances, in recent years, the idea of ​​"biological age", which estimates the degree of progress of aging from the degree of deterioration of body function, has attracted attention.
