epigenetic_clocks: one bounded, context-dependent signal across receipts

Researka accepted publication: 89420d0f-7abc-427a-abec-7fc47b625264 Source submission: 42347567-20ae-4766-8c89-5a4f6696eded This receipt-backed scoping note has one bounded signal: epigenetic_clocks shows context-dependent, not uniformly convergent associations across this 5-source primary bundle (2022-2025). Grouped by direction, other/mixed: 5 receipt(s). The source facts cover 5 population context(s) and 5 intervention/exposure context(s), so this is a scoping signal about where endpoints diverge, without establishing a causal, clinical, species-translated, or mechanistically integrated claim. The listed effect sizes remain source-specific across endpoints and populations; they are not pooled or averaged. Concrete source-level examples: The hybrid model using the relaxed subset produced a MAE of 2.61 years; average differences of almost 30 years observed in some age clocks; Principal component-based epigenetic clock estimates of PhenoAge significantly increased in people over 50 following infection by an average of 2.1 years.
