GrimAge and GrimAge2 Clocks Perform Similarly in Predicting Mortality

Researchers here demonstrate that the GrimAge and GrimAge2 epigenetic clocks beat out other clocks while performing more or less equivalently to one another when it comes to predicting mortality in a novel study population. The higher a patient's epigenetic age relative to their chronological age, the higher the risk of future mortality. Epigenetic clock results are not actionable, however. Since researchers do not yet understand how the specifi…
