Evaluating the connection between diet quality, EpiNutrient intake and epigenetic age: an observational study.
Abstract
DNA methylation (DNAm) has unique properties which makes it a potential biomarker for lifestyle-related exposures. Epigenetic clocks, particularly DNAm-based biological age predictors [epigenetic age (EA)], represent an exciting new area of clinical research and deviations of EA from chronological age [epigenetic age acceleration (EAA)] have been linked to overall health, age-related diseases, and environmental exposures.

Research summary
The paper investigates the relationship between diet quality, nutrient intake, and epigenetic age, which are all pertinent to understanding biological aging and potential interventions for longevity. While it contributes to the field by exploring how lifestyle factors may influence epigenetic markers of aging, the findings appear to be more of a solid research nature rather than groundbreaking. Thus, it has a limited impact on advancing the field of longevity research.
