What is DunedinPACE and how does it measure aging rate?
Briefing Summary
"Learn about DunedinPACE, the 2026 gold standard for measuring the pace of biological aging rather than just biological age."
Measuring the Pace of Aging
In 2026, DunedinPACE has emerged as the premier epigenetic clock because it measures the *speed* at which you are aging right now, rather than just your biological age.
Why Pace Matters
Unlike static clocks, DunedinPACE responds quickly to lifestyle changes, making it ideal for tracking the success of new diets or exercise routines.
Official Resource
The CDC has begun utilizing pace-of-aging metrics in longitudinal public health studies.

The DunedinPACE algorithm, refined in early 2026, uses DNA methylation patterns to provide a speedometer for your health. A score of 1.0 means you are aging at exactly one biological year per chronological year.
Clinical trials in 2026 showed that individuals who implemented high-intensity interval training (HIIT) combined with a Mediterranean-style diet were able to reduce their pace of aging to 0.85 within just four months.
