Published a guide comparing epigenetic and glycomic clocks, with source-linked study findings and limits on comparing the two results.
Epigenetic vs glycomic clocks explains DNA methylation marks and antibody sugar patterns, distinguishes research formulas from the tests consumers buy, and discusses what studies measuring both methods in the same people found. The ORCADES discussion is explicitly limited to age gaps and early methylation clocks; it does not establish how current retail tests compare, and the weak link alone does not prove different kinds of ageing.
The guide explains that the reviewed research gives no established way to convert or average the two results, identifies retesting uncertainty, and organizes choices around the question a reader wants answered. The grouped follow-up presents this material with schematic drawings, study cards and a study-versus-product diagram, rather than adding a new evidence conclusion.
Readers comparing methods need to know what each output means and where research evidence stops short of validating a specific product.
The article does not declare a winning method, establish a meaningful-change threshold or treat a lower number as proof of better health. It discloses AI preparation and separate AI review, not external expert validation.
