DunedinPACE Measurement

Meaning

DunedinPACE Measurement is a sophisticated epigenetic biomarker used to quantify the pace of biological aging in an individual, providing a dynamic assessment of their current rate of decline rather than just their accumulated age-related damage. This measure is derived from analyzing specific patterns of DNA methylation across the genome, offering a clinical metric that correlates strongly with future morbidity and mortality risk. It provides a more actionable insight than traditional static biological clocks, allowing for timely lifestyle or therapeutic intervention. The metric is expressed as years of biological aging accrued per calendar year.
