Aging Clocks Go Multi-Omics: The Next Generation of Biological Age Tests
Epigenetic age tests were just the prototype. A new wave of clocks stitches together DNA, proteins, metabolites, and microbes — and AI is the thread.

Move Your Way: Why Leisure-Time Activity May Slow Biological Aging More Than Work or Commuting
A new analysis of more than 18,000 adults parses exercise by domain—and finds the clock-slowing benefits aren't distributed evenly. Sweat on your own time appears to matter more than sweat on the job.

Personality as a Buffer Against Epigenetic Aging
A new analysis of nearly 3,000 older adults suggests that conscientiousness and openness may help the mind stay sharper than the body's biological clocks would predict — while neuroticism appears to do the opposite.

The Biological Age Era: How Epigenetic Clocks and Immune Maps Are Rewriting Risk
DNA-methylation clocks and a new atlas of immune aging are nudging longevity science from theory toward something a clinic could actually use. Here's where the evidence really stands.

BMI Trajectories and the Epigenetic Clock: Your Weight History Leaves a Methylation Footprint
A new analysis of more than 3,000 older Americans suggests that decades of weight patterns — not just today's number on the scale — interact with inherited obesity risk to nudge the body's biological clock forward.

Inheriting Resilience: Could a Parent's Mitochondrial Stress Make You Live Longer?
A new worm study suggests that mild stress in one generation can leave longevity marks on the next. The mechanism is fascinating — and the leap to humans is still a long one.

Why Your Biological Age Score Might Be Wrong
A new GeroScience analysis argues the machine-learning clocks behind today's biological-age tests optimize for math, not biology — and miss inflammation in the process.

Epigenetic Clocks Have a Quiet Problem — and Maybe a New Opportunity
Consumer biological-age tests promise a number that tells you how fast you're aging. A new analysis suggests the signal underneath that number isn't quite what we thought.

Better Biological Clocks: Mortality-Trained Aging Tests Edge Closer to Useful
A new clinical clock called LinAge2 is trained to predict survival, not just guess your age — a quiet but meaningful shift for anyone paying for an epigenetic age test.

Measuring How Old You Really Are: The Next Generation of Biological-Age Clocks
Transcriptomic clocks are joining PhenoAge and GrimAge in a fast-maturing toolkit — and early longitudinal work hints that ordinary medications may nudge the dial.
