Fifteen epigenetic clocks were measured at baseline (1996-1999). Longevity outcomes were defined as: 1) survival to age 90 with preserved cognition (n\u2009=\u20091726, 29.5%); or 2) survival to age 90 with cognitive impairment (n\u2009=\u2009956, 16.4%); vs. 3) death before age 90 (n\u2009=\u20092611, 44.7%). Logistic regression models examined associations between the 15 clocks and survival to age 90 (vs. death before age 90), adjusting for covariates. Multinomial logistic regression models examined associations with survival to age 90 without cognitive impairment and survival to age 90 with cognitive impairment (each vs. death before age 90), also adjusting for covariates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Each standard deviation increase in EAA for the first-generation clocks was associated with 7%-18% reduced odds of survival to age 90 vs. earlier death. Stronger associations were observed for second- and third-generation clocks, including AgeAccelGrim2 (OR\u2009=\u20090.66; 95% CI 0.61-0.71), PCGrimAge (OR\u2009=\u20090.64; 95% CI 0.59-0.69), PCPhenoAge (OR\u2009=\u20090.73; 95% CI 0.68-0.78) and DunedinPACE (OR\u2009=\u20090.77; 95% CI 0.72-0.82). None of the clocks was more strongly associated with survival to age 90 with preserved cognition than with survival to age 90 with cognitive impairment, relative to death before age 90.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All epigenetic clocks were associated with exceptional longevity, but none were associated with cognitive healthspan.
