Hannum DNAm Age
Hannum 2013 whole-blood epigenetic clock — 71 CpGs trained to predict chronological age in a blood-specific context. More reactive to immune shifts than Horvath.
What is Hannum DNAm Age?
Hannum 2013 whole-blood epigenetic clock — 71 CpGs trained to predict chronological age in a blood-specific context. More reactive to immune shifts than Horvath.
What does a high or low Hannum DNAm Age mean?
A clock outputs a methylation age in years. On its own it is neither high nor low; what carries information is the gap to chronological age (see the matching age-acceleration indicator) and how the value moves between repeated samples.

Epigenetic clocks are research-grade estimates with a test-retest noise of several years. A single result is a snapshot, not a verdict; trends over repeated samples are what carry information. For general education only — not a diagnosis or a substitute for medical advice.
