Biological aging

PhenoAge

Research-stage biomarkerComposite/epigenetic ageBloodyears

A biological-age construct developed from clinical chemistry and later DNA methylation.

What it measures

A mortality-oriented phenotypic-age model and related methylation implementation.

Why it matters

Associated with morbidity and mortality in cohort studies.

How to interpret it

Distinguish clinical Phenotypic Age from DNAm PhenoAge implementations.

Important limitations

Not an approved surrogate endpoint for longevity interventions.

Evidence status

Research-stage biomarker

Useful research aging measure with outcome associations.
