Paper Context: In line with previous results , our current findings suggest that DNAm age might represent a better aging marker than the commonly used telomere length, particularly in older individuals. This might be one of the reasons why we only detected significant differences in epigenetic aging in older subjects, especially considering the key role proposed for chronic stress and the high rates of unhealthy lifestyles seen in BD patients . Our findings suggest that accelerated epigenetic aging in BD may be at least partially associated with an increase in mtDNA copy number.
