• Implemented assessments using epigenetic clocks
• Analyzed physiological measures related to aging
• Evaluated functional measures to gauge aging impact
• Demonstrated that biological age can significantly differ from chronological age
• Showed a correlation between epigenetic changes and aging processes
• Revealed that various measures contribute to a better understanding of healthy aging
