Blood Epigenetic Age may Predict Cancer Incidence and Mortality

Blood Epigenetic Age may Predict Cancer Incidence and Mortality

Biological measures of aging are important for understanding the health of an aging population, with epigenetics particularly promising. Previous studies found that tumor tissue is epigenetically older than its donors are chronologically. We examined whether blood Δage (the discrepancy between epige...
