aging clocks

Aging clocks are scientific tools that estimate biological age based on measurements of your body or cells, such as DNA, blood, or other biomarkers. Unlike chronological age, which is how many years you've lived, biological age reflects how well your body is functioning or aging at a cellular level. These clocks analyze patterns in molecular data to assess whether your body is aging faster, slower, or at the same rate as typical for your age. They help researchers understand aging processes and evaluate strategies to promote healthy aging or extend lifespan.
