Biological age is a concept, not a construct : assessments of healthy aging using epigenetic clocks, physiological, and functional measures of aging
Key Points
The goal is to clarify the concept of biological age and how it can be assessed using various measures of aging.
Implemented assessments using epigenetic clocks
Analyzed physiological measures related to aging
Evaluated functional measures to gauge aging impact
Demonstrated that biological age can significantly differ from chronological age
Showed a correlation between epigenetic changes and aging processes
Revealed that various measures contribute to a better understanding of healthy aging
