Summary

Understand why telomere length and attrition rate are critical biomarkers for aging, immune function, and disease resistance—alongside DNA methylation clocks.
Discover how lifestyle choices, stress, and infections like COVID-19 can shorten telomeres, while targeted interventions may restore length and immune vitality.
Learn how monitoring telomeres, immune cell subsets, and DNA methylation together offers a more complete picture of biological aging and longevity potential.
