Definición

  • Biomarkers are biological characteristics that can be used as “markers,” or measurable indicators, of underlying biological processes or traits that are difficult to observe directly. In aging research, biomarkers have generally been used to study three types of processes: disease processes associated with age, physiological processes that change with age, and aging itself.
