Epigenetic age acceleration predicts cancer, cardiovascular, and all-cause mortality in a German case cohort

Background Previous studies have developed models predicting methylation age from DNA methylation in blood and other tissues (epigenetic clock) and suggested the difference between DNA methylation and chronological ages as a marker of healthy aging. The goal of this study was to confirm and expand s...
