Epigenetic Clock Kinetics

Meaning

Epigenetic Clock Kinetics refers to the quantitative measurement of the rate of change in an individual’s biological age, as calculated by established algorithms based on specific patterns of DNA methylation across the genome. This parameter moves beyond the static “age” estimate to assess the velocity of the aging process itself, indicating whether a person is aging faster or slower than their chronological age suggests. Optimizing these kinetics is a primary goal in longevity medicine, aiming to decelerate the accrual of biological damage.
