Abstract
DNA methylation clocks could potentially predict individuals at high risk for sarcopenia.
- Sarcopenia involves the accelerated loss of muscle mass, strength, and function as people age.
- Accumulation of DNA methylation is linked to biological aging.
- Biological age-acceleration measures may correlate with components of sarcopenia.
- Identifying individuals at risk for sarcopenia could allow for targeted interventions.
