Epigenetic Drift Measurement

Meaning

Epigenetic Drift Measurement is a sophisticated molecular diagnostic technique used to quantify the cumulative, age-associated changes in an individual’s epigenome, primarily focusing on DNA methylation patterns. These measurable shifts, or “drift,” reflect the divergence of an individual’s biological age from their chronological age, often serving as a highly precise biomarker for healthspan and disease risk. The clinical application involves assessing the impact of lifestyle, environmental factors, and hormonal status on the cellular machinery that controls gene expression. This metric provides actionable insight into the rate of biological aging.
