Here find an open access review of the present landscape of biomarkers of aging, both single measures and composite measures of various sorts, such as the aging clocks developed over the past fifteen years. The development of a good, consensus measure of biological age would accelerate efforts to treat aging as a medical condition, as assessing the ability of various classes of treatment to slow or reverse aging is at present a slow and expensive process – the only proven approach is a life span study. Unfortunately, all present approaches to the assessment of biological age have their challenges. The accumulation of large amounts of data for analysis proceeds in parallel with the development of better aging clocks that seek to address the known issues.

One major barrier to longevity research is evaluating the impact of interven…
