Epigenetic Clock Assessment

Meaning

A sophisticated molecular diagnostic technique used to estimate an individual’s biological age, or ‘epigenetic age,’ by analyzing specific patterns of DNA methylation across the human genome. This assessment provides a quantitative, objective measure of the body’s accumulated physiological aging and is considered a more accurate predictor of healthspan and all-cause mortality risk than chronological age alone. The resulting data informs targeted longevity interventions aimed at slowing the measured rate of biological aging. It represents a paradigm shift in age-related health management from observation to molecular quantification.
