Epigenetic measures of ageing predict the prevalence and incidence of leading causes of death and disease burden
31 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Individuals of the same chronological age display different rates of biological ageing. A number of measures of biological age have been proposed which harness age-related changes in DNA methylation profiles. These measures include five 'epigenetic clocks' which provide an index of how much an individual's biological age differs from their chronological age at the time of measurement. The five clocks...
