An accelerated rate of biologicalaging could contribute to this increased risk.
2
Problem: Epigenetic age indices are markers of biologicalaging determined from DNA methylation patterns.
3
A widely used marker of biologicalaging is telomere length.
4
This study assessed the contribution of genetic and nongenetic factors to biologicalaging in American Caucasians.
5
As the biologicalaging process demonstrates gender-specific characteristics, the analyses were performed separately in males and female.
1
He sees it as a matter of re-educating the public and health authorities to see biologicalageing in a new light.
2
Thus, drift emerges as a promising biomarker for premature or biologicalageing, and could potentially be used in geriatrics for disease risk prediction.
