Epigenetic age clocks and mortality at the individual level — methodological review
Representative methodological review of epigenetic age clocks as predictors of individual-level mortality and disease incidence. Exact citation pending verification; the canonical reference for the surrogate-endpoint critique of epigenetic-clock-based aging interventions includes work by Bell, Lu, Levine, Horvath, and others on clock validation against chronological age, all-cause mortality, and disease incidence. The general finding: epigenetic clocks are validated as population-level predictors of chronological age and average mortality risk; they are not validated as causal mediators of individual-level mortality, and movement on the clock surrogate does not, in current evidence, predict downstream hard-endpoint benefit for an individual recipient of an intervention designed to reduce clock-measured biological age.
