Biological Age Testing (Epigenetic Clock)

DNA-methylation-based tests (and related aging clocks) that estimate a client's 'biological age' or pace of aging from a blood or saliva sample, sold as a way to track the effect of interventions over time.

Evidence

emerging

Epigenetic clocks correlate with mortality and age at a population level and are strong research tools, but their reliability, reproducibility, and clinical usefulness for guiding individual longevity decisions remain unproven.
