Understanding Biological Age vs. Chronological Age
Biological age represents the physical rate of aging, different from chronological age. Research shows that individuals can age faster or slower than their chronological age. Methods like DNA methylation look at the biochemical changes influencing DNA expression, allowing prediction of biological aging rates. Advances in research now explore the possibility of reversing biological age.
