Abstract

This paper summarises a conceptual discussion of some aspects of biomarkers of aging and the logical strategy for developing them. A biomarker of aging is a biological parameter of an organism that either alone or in some multivariate composite will, in the absence of disease, better predict functional capability at some late age than with chronological age. The criteria for putative biomarker measurement and assessment of putative biomarkers are discussed.
