Motivated by our conduct of a literature review on social exposures and accelerated aging
as measured by a growing number of epigenetic “clocks”(which estimate age via DNA …

Epigenetic age acceleration is considered a measure of biological aging based on genome-
wide patterns of DNA methylation. Although age acceleration has been associated with the …

Measures of biological age based on blood DNA methylation, referred to as age
acceleration (AA), have been developed. We examined whether AA was associated with …

Aging is associated with profound changes in DNA methylation. Recent studies have used
DNA methylation to build very accurate age predictors, also named “epigenetic clocks,” that …

Accelerated DNA methylation age is linked to all-cause mortality and environmental factors,
but studies of associations with socioeconomic position are limited. Researchers generally …

Background Many DNA methylation-based indicators have been developed as summary
measures of epigenetic aging. We examine the associations between 13 epigenetic clocks …

Epigenetic clocks use DNA methylation to estimate biological age. Whether body
composition and physical activity are associated with these clocks is not well understood …

Biomarkers developed from DNA methylation (DNAm) data are of growing interest as
predictors of health outcomes and mortality in older populations. However, it is unknown …

Aging involves a diverse set of biological changes accumulating over time that leads to
increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Epigenetic clocks are now widely used to quantify …

DNA methylation (DNAm) algorithms of biological age provide a robust estimate of an
individual's chronological age and can predict their risk of age-related disease and mortality …
