Epigenetic Age Mediates the Association of Life's Essential 8 With Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality
29 May 2024
Abstract excerpt
Background Life's Essential 8 (LE8) is an enhanced metric for cardiovascular health. The interrelations among LE8, biomarkers of aging, and disease risks are unclear. Methods and Results LE8 score was calculated for 5682 Framingham Heart Study participants. We implemented 4 DNA methylation‐based epigenetic age biomarkers, with older epigenetic age hypothesized to represent faster biological aging, and examined...
