DNA methylation age of blood predicts all-cause mortality in later life.
Genome biology 20150130
<h4>Background</h4>DNA methylation levels change with age. Recent studies have identified biomarkers of chronological age based on DNA methylation levels. It is not yet known whether DNA methylation age captures aspects of biological age.<h4>Results</h4>Here we test whether differences between people's chronological ages and estimated ages, DNA methylation age, predict all-cause mortality in later life. The difference between DNA methylation age and chronological age (Δage) was calculated in fou ...[more]
