Impressive work. Thank you.

Maybe I missed it: is he correlating RDW with his other cardiovascular risk factors?

Thanks albedo, but afaik, he's not. Which would you expect to be correlated with RDW?

Very good question Michael! If I restrict to particular biomarkers, not pathologies (such as diabetes, for example), I would say all those particularly linked to inflammation, firstly hs-CRP (I would check a trend not to be too sensible to local events such as sub clinical viral infection) and fibrinogen. Plus IL-6 and TNF-alpha as second pick. And later I would add all those best known to relate to CVD risks such as lipids and homocysteine. I have no time to search through literature but that could be a good exercise. Next, I would be interested how you regress each to CVD mortality and check the strengths of correlation. All this might explain the high weight of RDW in Levine Phenotypic Age calculator, itself based on mortality.
