About me

  • My research interests are comprehensive health indicators, such as the frailty index, epigenetic age, telomeres, cell-free DNA levels (a marker of cellular and tissue damage), and self-rated health, some of which also serve as indicators of the biological aging (BA) process. I am particularly interested in what each indicator represents—what they are truly reflecting, their theoretical background, and their utility in research and clinical practice.
