BackgroundEpigenetic clocks based on DNA methylation (DNAm) provide quantitative indicators of biological aging. However, the extent to which diverse lifestyle factors influence DNAm-based aging measures remains unclear, especially in Japanese populations. We aimed to evaluate the associations between 52 lifestyle-related factors and multiple epigenetic aging indicators, including six DNAm ages (Horvath, Hannum, PhenoAge, GrimAge, GrimAge v2, and PCPhenoAge specific to Japanese Population), the ...
