In patients with chronic HCV infection (n = 63), age acceleration was associated with liver fibrosis as assessed by histology (P &amp;lt; .05), or presence of HIV co-infection (P &amp;lt; .05), but not HCV mono-infection. Age acceleration defined by immune markers was concordant with age acceleration by DNA methylation (correlation coefficient\u2005=\u2005.59 in HBV; P\u2005=\u2005.0025). One-year treatment of HBV patients with nucleoside therapy was associated with a modest reduction in age acceleration, as measured using the immune marker model (\u2212.65 years,
