Genetic Level Aging

Meaning

Genetic Level Aging refers to the cumulative, measurable molecular damage and functional decline that occurs within the cell’s genetic material and its associated regulatory machinery over time. Key markers of this fundamental process include the progressive shortening of telomeres, the accumulation of somatic mutations in DNA, and adverse epigenetic modifications that alter gene expression. This is considered one of the core, primary hallmarks of biological aging, directly influencing cellular senescence and the systemic decline in hormonal production and receptor function. It provides a precise molecular target for longevity interventions.
