Saliva Telomeres Found to Mirror Blood Aging Clocks
Original: Saliva Telomeres Mirror Blood-Based Aging Clocks in Older Adults
Researchers report that telomere length measured in saliva closely matches blood-based biological aging markers in older adults. The finding suggests saliva, which is far easier and cheaper to collect than blood, could serve as a reliable non-invasive tool for tracking biological age in large studies and health screening.
Why now: It points to a simpler, non-invasive way to measure biological aging, which interests both scientists and the public.
