The latter, also known as the epigenetic clock theory, has been widely used by scientists as a consistent, quantitative measure of biological aging. However, the new research suggests that the ...

Researchers have developed a new “body clock" tool that measures biological age and may help forecast a person’s risk of ...

The second theory focuses on epigenetic changes ... marks changes so predictably that scientists have created “biological clocks” that can estimate someone’s age just by looking at their ...

The somatic mutation theory suggests aging is caused by an accumulation of mutations leading to permanent changes in the DNA sequence that occur randomly. The epigenetic clock theory suggests ...

Experts caution that while these tests are interesting in theory ... roll back an individual’s biological age. Putting a new spin on old information Epigenetic clocks aren’t the only products ...

While chronological age is easily measured, it fails to capture the complex biological processes that determine the rate of aging. A new proteomic aging clock may predict biological age ...

Researchers have developed a new “body clock” tool that calculates people’s biological age — and could even predict the risk of disability or death. The tool, which comes from the ...
