Epigenetic Clock Optimization

Meaning

Epigenetic Clock Optimization refers to the clinical strategy of utilizing targeted interventions to slow or, in some cases, potentially reverse the measured pace of biological aging as quantified by epigenetic clocks, such as the DunedinPACE or Horvath clock. This involves precision modulation of lifestyle factors, nutritional intake, and potentially specific pharmacological agents to favorably alter DNA methylation patterns across the genome. The goal is to reduce the discrepancy between chronological and biological age, thereby extending healthspan and reducing the risk of age-related chronic disease. It is a direct, measurable approach to longevity medicine.
