Biological Aging Measures and Long Healthy Thinking in Older Women

Updated

Abstract

Epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) clocks may predict exceptional longevity.

  • EAA clocks measure biological aging through changes in gene expression.
  • Exceptional longevity is defined as living significantly longer than average life expectancy.
  • The relationship between EAA and cognitive function is not well understood.
  • Further research is necessary to determine how EAA relates to health outcomes in older adults.
