Abstract
The GrimAge2 epigenetic clock was used to investigate biological aging in frontotemporal dementia.
- Epigenetic clocks serve as biomarkers that reflect biological aging and can be influenced by lifestyle choices and systemic factors.
- Accelerated biological aging has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases, raising questions about its role in frontotemporal dementia.
- The study examined the specific impact of smoking-related DNA methylation on biological aging in individuals with frontotemporal dementia.
