Epigenetic Aging

Epigenetic Aging

Epigenetic aging refers to age-associated changes in epigenetic regulation that influence gene expression without altering DNA sequence. These changes include DNA methylation, histone modifications, and chromatin remodeling. Over time, epigenetic patterns drift, leading to altered cellular identity, impaired stress responses, and dysregulated gene expression. Epigenetic aging is strongly associated with disease risk, inflammation, and mortality and is considered a central driver of biological aging. Unlike genetic mutations, epigenetic changes are potentially reversible, making them attractive therapeutic targets. Lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, stress, and environmental exposures significantly influence epigenetic aging. Understanding epigenetic aging provides insight into how external and internal factors shape aging trajectories and health outcomes.
