As we age, our DNA changes, leading to numerous age-related health concerns. The smoking gun of age-related DNA alterations is something called DNA methylation, which has been found to modify some people’s DNA by as much as 20 percent.
In a study published in the journal Aging, more than 13,000 people were evaluated for their epigenetic age--an age measurement based on the amount of harmful methylation that has impacted someone’s genome.
Epigenetics is the study of changes in organisms based on modifications to gene expression (the result of aging, pollution, stress, and more), rather than changes to genetic codes. (Methylation is the key mechanism of epigenetics, however, methylation can also occur without creating genetic alterations.)
After adjusting for traditional risk factors, including age, gender, smoking habits, body-mass index, and disease history, researchers were able to use each individual’s epigenetic clock (the amount of methylation) as a predictor of lifespan.
