What Is Epigenetic Aging? Why It Matters for Healthy Aging

Epigenetic aging refers to age-related changes in gene regulation that can be measured through patterns such as DNA methylation. In this video, we explain what epigenetic aging is, how it differs from chronological age, and why it matters for biological aging, healthspan, and healthy aging. Full article: https://longevityinsights.co.uk/what-is-epigenetic-aging/ In longevity science, epigenetic aging is widely studied because it may provide insight into how quickly the body is aging at a biological level. Researchers use epigenetic clocks and other biomarkers to examine how aging, inflammation, metabolism, lifestyle factors, and cellular stress may influence long-term health and resilience. Understanding epigenetic aging can help explain why two people of the same age may have very different health outcomes and why biological age has become such an important topic in aging research.
