Rhonda Patrick Ph.D. – Foundmyfitness topic page on Epigenetic aging clocks
“Epigenetic Aging Clocks are predictors of biological age based on alterations in an individual’s DNA methylation profile. Methylations – biochemical processes that modify the activity of a DNA segment without changing its sequence – occur naturally and regulate gene expression to control normal growth and development. With age, the methylation state of various genes may change. These changes are quantifiable and serve as a means to gauge epigenetic age, which often differs from chronological age.”
