Epigenetic Clock Slowing

Meaning

Epigenetic Clock Slowing is the clinical objective of decelerating the rate of biological aging as measured by specific, quantifiable patterns of DNA methylation across the genome. The “epigenetic clock” is a biochemical marker that accurately estimates an individual’s biological age, often revealing a significant deviation from chronological age. Achieving this slowing implies a systemic reversal or mitigation of age-related molecular changes, leading to an improved healthspan and a reduced risk of age-associated diseases.
