The association of accelerated epigenetic age with all-cause mortality in cardiac catheterization patients as mediated by vascular and cardiometabolic outcomes

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Epigenetic age is a DNA methylation-based biomarker of aging that is accurate across the lifespan and a range of cell types. The difference between epigenetic age and chronological age, termed age acceleration (AA), is a strong predictor of lifespan and healthspan. The predictive capabilities of AA for all-cause mortality have been evaluated in the general population; however, its utility is less well...
