Biological Age
An estimate of the true degree of aging at the cellular and organ level in an individual, derived from biomarkers such as epigenetic clocks, blood markers, and inflammation levels. Distinct from chronological age, biological age can be altered through lifestyle interventions.
Core Facts
Biological age is typically estimated using biomarkers such as epigenetic clocks, blood indicators, inflammation levels, and physiological function tests.
Biological age is estimated based on epigenetic markers such as DNA methylation patterns, referred to as the epigenetic clock.
Timeline (last 90 days)
A person's chronological age (time elapsed since birth) and biological age (the actual state of bodily function and cellular condition) do not fully align.
A competition rewards participants who successfully reduce their biological age.
Biological age attempts to reflect the true degree of aging at the cellular, tissue, and organ levels of the body.
Biological age is typically estimated using biomarkers such as epigenetic clocks, blood indicators, inflammation levels, and physiological function tests.
Whether biological age can be reliably measured and whether short-term improvements in indicators truly indicate extended lifespan remain questions on which the scientific community has not fully reached consensus.
Biological age is estimated based on epigenetic markers such as DNA methylation patterns, referred to as the epigenetic clock.
