If you want to know your chronological age, simply count the candles on your next birthday cake. Calculating your biological age, though, is a little more complicated. Chronological age is the number ...

When used correctly, they can help us unpick some of the mysteries of our biology, and our mortality. Be honest: Have you ever looked up someone from your childhood on social media with the sole ...

Many studies suggest that planned, structured exercise, rather than casual activity, may slow epigenetic aging — changes in DNA that reflect biological rather than chronological age. Experiments in ...

Researchers have developed a new "body clock" tool that calculates people’s biological age — and could even predict the risk of disability or death. The tool, which comes from the University of ...

While chronological age is easily measured, it fails to capture the complex biological processes that determine the rate of aging. A new proteomic aging clock may predict biological age, mortality ...

A team of international researchers has developed a new biological age “clock” that estimates how well someone is aging, not just how “old” they or their various organs might be. The IC Clock, which ...

What does the word “aging” typically suggest? Well, it’s certainly limiting: running out of vitality; running out of possibilities, winding down the clock as we face our mortality, gazing into the ...

Urine-based aging clocks In the study, " A urinary microRNA aging clock accurately predicts biological age," published in npj Aging, researchers used machine learning to develop and validate a urinary ...

"Biological aging tests," also called aging clocks, can predict your risk of age-related disease, disability, early mortality and more — but are they ready for prime time? When you purchase through ...
