Precise Measurement of Aging: Basics and Uses

Updated

Abstract

An innovative approach to measuring biological age change achieves an accuracy of approximately one month.

  • Aging is linked to various chronic diseases and significantly contributes to global mortality.
  • Current methods for measuring the effects of rejuvenating interventions face significant challenges.
  • Precision gerontometry using metabolomics can improve the accuracy of biological age assessments.
  • Averaging multiple metabolites from a large metabolomic signature may enhance measurement reliability.
  • This method could facilitate faster testing of anti-aging interventions and improve their development.
