Epigenetic age is a measurement, not an outcome. A clock can move without anything a person would notice changing, and no trial has yet shown that moving one changes how long or how well someone lives.
Two features of the grading system matter on a page like this. A grade attaches to a use, not to a molecule, so the same compound can carry different letters for different questions. And a grade is capped by the kind of outcome the trials measured: a surrogate marker A lab value or measurement used in place of the outcome that matters, such as LDL cholesterol standing in for heart attacks. Moving a surrogate does not always move the outcome. or a self-reported score cannot reach Grade A under the EBL rubric no matter how well the trial was run.
Every letter below links to its own page, where the trials, the PMIDs PubMed ID: the permanent number the US National Library of Medicine gives a published paper. Each one links to that paper's record on PubMed. and the reasons for the ceiling are set out in full.
