Creator description · original language
Biological age attempts to measure how the body is aging internally rather than simply counting the number of years someone has lived. One of the most studied tools used to estimate biological age is the epigenetic clock.
Epigenetic clocks analyze patterns of DNA methylation, a type of chemical marker that influences gene activity. These patterns change over time and may provide insights into how lifestyle, environment, and metabolic health affect aging processes.
Researchers continue to study how accurately these measurements reflect long term health outcomes. Factors such as sleep quality, physical activity, balanced nutrition, and stress management are consistently associated with healthier aging patterns.
This video explains how epigenetic clocks work and why biological age has become an important topic in longevity research.
