Abstract
In this issue of Blood, a study by Ward-Caviness et al identifies a significant relationship between age-related DNA methylation changes and thrombotic risk in the elderly. They studied the relationship between hemostatic factors and 3 epigenetic measures of aging: extrinsic epigenetic age acceleration difference (EEAD), intrinsic epigenetic age acceleration difference (IEAD) for blood-specific measures, and age acceleration difference (AAD) to assess differences between epigenetic and chronological age in nonblood tissues.1
