Epigenetic Age Estimation

Meaning

Epigenetic Age Estimation is a sophisticated molecular technique that utilizes the analysis of DNA methylation patterns at specific CpG sites across the genome to calculate an individual’s biological age, often referred to as a “molecular clock.” This biological age metric frequently deviates from chronological age, serving as a powerful, quantitative biomarker of healthspan and physiological reserve. In the hormonal health space, this estimation offers a tangible measure of the cumulative impact of lifestyle, environment, and endocrine balance on the aging process.
