Now that cost-effective epigenetic age assessment is a going concern, we will see all sorts of interesting correlations, such as the one noted here in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, before and after treatment. Since it remains unclear as to what exactly is being measured by epigenetic age, which aspects of aging and consequent metabolic dysfunction contribute to the outcome, a good deal of speculation is involved when thinking about why and how what is known of the consequences of sleep apnea relates to what is known of degenerative aging.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects 22 million people in the U.S. and is linked to a higher risk of hypertension, heart attacks, <a href="https://en.wikiped…
