Horvath's Epigenetic Age Clock

Horvath's Epigenetic Age Clock is a scientific tool that estimates a person’s biological age by analyzing DNA methylation patterns—chemical markers on DNA—across specific sites in the genome. Unlike chronological age, which is based on years lived, this clock reflects the biological aging process, helping to assess health and disease risk. By measuring these epigenetic changes, it can indicate whether someone is aging faster or slower than expected, offering insights into overall health, lifestyle impacts, and potential interventions to promote healthy aging.
