What the research found
Biological aging is a rapidly growing area of research, which entails characterizing the rate of aging independent of an individual’s chronological age. In this scoping review, we analyze the results of biological aging research in 435 papers published in a 12 year window spanning 2011 through June 2023, 309 of which focus on non-methylation-based biomarkers, revealing changing patterns of molecular markers of biolog
