Anisocytosis reflects unequal‐sized red blood cells and is quantified using red blood cell distribution width (RDW). RDW increases with age and has been consistently associated with adverse health outcomes, such as cardiovascular disease and mortality. Why RDW increases with age is not understood. We aimed to identify plasma metabolomic markers mediating anisocytosis with aging.
