Aging Biomarkers & Diagnostics

Epigenetic clocks (Horvath, GrimAge, DunedinPACE) measure biological age from DNA methylation patterns. Proteomic aging clocks analyze circulating proteins. Telomere length measurement indicates cellular aging. Metabolomics profiles identify age-related metabolic changes. Multi-omic platforms combine multiple biomarker types for comprehensive assessment.

Consumer biological age tests track aging rate and intervention effects. Clinical trials use aging biomarkers as surrogate endpoints. Wellness programs measure employee biological age for health optimization. Insurance companies explore biological age for risk assessment.

The biological age testing market is growing rapidly. Consumer tests from TruDiagnostic and others serve health-conscious individuals. Clinical applications for drug development and risk assessment are emerging.
