Methylation age acceleration does not predict mortality in schizophrenia. [PDF]
Schizophrenia (SCZ) is associated with high mortality. DNA methylation levels vary over the life course, and pre-selected combinations of methylation array probes can be used to estimate "methylation age" (mAge). mAge correlates highly with chronological

Prenatal and early life influences on epigenetic age in children:a study of mother-offspring pairs from two cohort studies [PDF]
DNA methylation-based biomarkers of aging are highly correlated with actual age. Departures of methylation-estimated age from actual age can be used to define epigenetic measures of child development or age acceleration (AA) in adults.

Lifetime Stress Accelerates Epigenetic Aging
Background Psychological stress is associated with accelerated cellular aging and increased risk for aging-related diseases, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Methods We examined the effect of stress on a DNA methylation age predictor that was shown to correlate strongly with chronological age across human tissues (Horvath 2013).

DNA repair‐deficient premature aging models display accelerated epigenetic age
Abstract Several premature aging mouse models have been developed to study aging and identify interventions that can delay age‐related diseases. Yet, it is still unclear whether these models truly recapitulate natural aging.

Age-dependent expression of DNMT1 and DNMT3B in PBMCs from a large European population enrolled in the MARK-AGE study [PDF]
Aging is associated with alterations in the content and patterns of DNA methylation virtually throughout the entire human lifespan. Reasons for these variations are not well understood.

Background The biological mechanisms underlying frailty in older people are poorly understood. There is some evidence to suggest that DNA methylation patterns may be altered in frail individuals.

DNA methylation dynamics in aging: How far are we from understanding the mechanisms? [PDF]
DNA methylation is currently the most promising molecular marker for monitoring aging and predicting life expectancy. However, the mechanisms underlying age-related DNA methylation changes remain mostly undiscovered.Here we discuss the current knowledge ...

Accelerated aging in perinatally HIV-infected children: clinical manifestations and pathogenetic mechanisms [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Premature aging and related diseases have been documented in HIV-infected adults. Data are now emerging also regarding accelerated aging process in HIV-infected children. METHODS: A narrative review was performed searching studies on PubMed
