Functional Aging Clock

Meaning

The Functional Aging Clock is a clinical and scientific construct that measures an individual’s biological age and physiological capacity based on a composite of measurable biomarkers, rather than simply relying on chronological age. This assessment integrates metrics related to metabolic health, epigenetic modifications, telomere length, and organ system function to provide a more accurate representation of the body’s true functional decline or resilience. It serves as a crucial tool for evaluating the efficacy of longevity interventions in a quantifiable manner.
