Studying transcriptome chronological change from tissues across the whole body can provide valuable information for understanding aging and longevity. Although there has been research on the effect of single-tissue transcriptomes on human aging or aging in mice across multiple tissues, the study of human body-wide multi-tissue transcriptomes on aging is not yet available. In this study, we propose a quantitative model to predict human age by using gene expression data from 46 tissues generated by the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project. Specifically, the biological age of a person is first predicted via the gene expression profile of a single tissue. Then, we combine the gene expression profiles from two tissues and compare the predictive accuracy between single and two tissues. The best performance as measured by the root-mean-square error is 3.92 years for single tissue (pituitary), which deceased to 3.6 years when we combined two tissues (pituitary and muscle) together. Different tissues have different potential in predicting chronological age. The prediction accuracy is improved by combining multiple tissues, supporting that aging is a systemic process involving multiple tissues across the human body.
