DNAmFitAge: Biological Age Indicator Incorporating Physical Fitness
A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 15, Issue 10, entitled, “DNAmFitAge: biological age indicator incorporating physical fitness.” Physical fitness is a well-known correlate of health and the aging process and DNA methylation (DNAm) data can capture aging via epigenetic clocks. However, current epigenetic clocks did not yet use measures of mobility, strength, lung, or endurance fitness in their construction. In this new study, researchers develop blood-based DNAm biomarkers for fitness parameters including gait speed (walking speed), maximum handgrip strength, forced…
