Are 'epigenetic clocks' reliable? Researchers refine accuracy of these tests that measure aging
89% Informative
Epigenetics refers to the chemical modifications that accumulate in the DNA of cells throughout life.
These changes are known to vary with age, and are, in fact, an indicator of aging.
Having an epigenetic age that is greater than one's chronological age has been associated with an increased risk of disease and mortality.
New epigenetic clock model developed by the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre provides more accurate measurements.
