A new ageing clock that reveals your biological age

DeepMAge is an accurate ageing clock so far and could be a key in medicine

09-Dec-2020

Key points from article :

Deep Longevity, the Hong-Kong based longevity start-up released its new aging clock.

DeepMAge predicts human age on more than 6000 DNA methylation profiles within a 2.77-year error margin.

More accurate than any other human aging clock.

As we age, the number of methyl groups added to our DNA increases.

Methylation aging clocks evaluate the numbers of added methyl groups to calculate biological age.

DeepMAge predicts that women with ovarian cancer are biologically 1.7 years older than healthy women of same chronological age.

Multiple sclerosis patients are predicted by the clock to be 2.1 years older biologically.

Aging clocks are key in both personalised and precision medicine.

"Among molecular markers, epigenetic clocks are far more superior in accuracy of prediction of chronological age" - Polina mamoshina, chief scientific officer of Deep longevity.
