  • The study explores the link between epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) from DNA methylation and the risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) using data from 9,360 participants over 16 years.
  • Four measures of EAA (Horvath, Hannum, PhenoAge, and BLUP) were positively associated with increased CRC risk, with odds ratios significantly above 1 for each decile increase.
  • Two other EAA measures (Skin and Blood, and Elastic Net) showed a negative or minimal association with CRC risk, indicating the need for further research to understand these relationships better.
