Abstract
Significant correlations between chronological age and epigenetic age were observed using six different epigenetic clocks in individuals with bipolar disorder.
- Accelerated epigenetic aging in individuals with bipolar disorder was assessed using various DNA methylation-based markers.
- Body mass index was significantly associated with age accelerations estimated by the six epigenetic clocks.
- GrimAge AgeAccel showed significant associations with male sex, smoking status, and childhood maltreatment.
- DNAm-based telomere length clock AgeAccel was significantly associated with smoking status.
- Distinct epigenetic clocks appear sensitive to different aspects of the aging process in bipolar disorder.
