A Hong Kong team's AI reads 2,920 proteins from one blood draw to score risk of six cardiovascular conditions. Added to a questionnaire, an exam and an ordinary blood count, all of it together sorts three more pairs correctly in every hundred, the proteins alone about two.
The 15 years in the headlines is a forecasting window, not a moment of detection. Among the third scored highest for coronary artery disease, about 846 in every 1,000 did not develop it within 15 years. The claim that the score tracks current health is untested: every sample was drawn once, between 2006 and 2010.
Good science. Not yet a test, and the authors say so.
