Abstract

Epigenetic clocks may provide precise estimations of biological age and aging rates.

  • Epigenetic changes are recognized as key biomarkers of aging.
  • Research has validated the effectiveness of epigenetic clocks in identifying risk factors for aging.
  • These clocks are associated with evaluating the impact of anti-aging interventions.
  • Epigenetic clocks may help predict the emergence of age-related diseases.
  • The review discusses theoretical principles, challenges, and future directions for epigenetic clocks in aging research.
