Where was I going with this?
Yeah, that basically if our organs are aging at different rates, then, you know, obviously the muscle would only affect the people that are going to die from their falls or whatever, you know, I don't know.
I think it's the...
It's an interesting question in terms of like what organs are aging faster in you.
And there's biomarkers that can help you understand that risk, but the aging clocks, that is something that people can now go and test, right?
I even...
You know, I've done my gene array before and looked at, there's like all these different companies that are able to go and look at your SNPs or even your whole genome.
And even those tests, when you get the raw data back and sort of look at them,
you'll have genes that say, oh, you're predisposed to coronary heart disease.
So they're already sort of targeting organs or neurodegenerative disease like Alzheimer's disease.
So we know there are even genes that are involved in predisposing you to certain diseases.
that are based on your organs.
And so it makes sense that the methylation patterns would also play a role in that because they play a role in, you know, gene function.
Yes, yes.
I agree.
So looking at the epigenetic, organ-specific epigenetic clocks even.
Right.
Yes.
Exactly.
Absolutely not.
