This has led to increased interest in developing methods to determine biological age, as it provides a more accurate understanding of individual age-related physiological changes. Methods: In this study, we developed a model for estimating biological age based on DNA methylation levels in the ELOVL2, TRIM59, C1orf132, FHL2, and KLF14 genes using pyrosequencing. The model was tested in 64 Russian women, aged 25\u201339 years, to find an association between epigenetic age, infertility, low anti-M\u00fcllerian hormone (AMH) levels, and assisted reproductive technology (ART) failure. Results: The predictive performance of the model was evaluated. The mean absolute deviation of the model was 2.8 years; the mean absolute error was 2.6 years (R2 = 0.95). In the studied cohort, 33% of women exhibited epigenetic age acceleration (EAA), while 45% showed epigenetic age deceleration (EAD). All women with an EAA of \u22653 years (n = 6) had a history of infertility. Conclusions: In this study, no statistically significant associations were observed between EAA\/EAD and AMH, body mass index, infertility, or ART failure in women.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/epigenomes9020019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,5]],"date-time":"2025-06-05T05:49:22Z","timestamp":1749102562000},"page":"19","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Association of Model-Predicted Epigenetic Age and Female Infertility"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4477-8506","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena","family":"Pozdysheva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Institute of Epidemiology Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing of Russian Federation, Moscow 111123, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2264-6294","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vitaly","family":"Korchagin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Institute of Epidemiology Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing of Russian Federation, Moscow 111123, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tatiana","family":"Rumyantseva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fomin Clinic, Moscow 119192, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daria","family":"Ogneva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fomin Clinic, Moscow 119192, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vera","family":"Zhivotova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Institute of Epidemiology Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing of Russian Federation, Moscow 111123, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Irina","family":"Gaponova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Institute of Epidemiology Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing of Russian Federation, Moscow 111123, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8207-9215","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konstantin","family":"Mironov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Institute of Epidemiology Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing of Russian Federation, Moscow 111123, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vasily","family":"Akimkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Institute of Epidemiology Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing of Russian Federation, Moscow 111123, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2108","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/dew123","article-title":"Prevalence of infertility and help seeking among 15 000 women and men","volume":"31","author":"Datta","year":"2016","journal-title":"Hum.
