Dr. Steve Horvath and his colleagues have created multiple epigenetic clocks – each with a different purpose. The original Horvath epigenetic clock predicts age based on methylation patterns and rates in DNA. Another is the GrimAge clock (named creatively for the Grim Reaper), which predicts lifespan and healthspan in units of years and tests whether potential lifestyle interventions may slow or reverse biological aging. A third clock, DNAm PhenoAge, predicts mortality risk among people of the same chronological age. In this clip, Dr. Steve Horvath describes the different types of epigenetic clocks.
