Abstract: Since its beginning more than 75 years ago [ 1 ], epigenetics has been an evolving field with growing applications to the study of cancer, aging, and gene expression in response to environmental exposures. The emergence of high-throughput technology for measuring epigenetic markers has enabled population-based studies [ 2 ]. The relatively new field of epigenetic epidemiology investigates epigenetic associations from a population perspective for insights into disease risk, prevention, and progression. Unlike genetic variants, epigenetic markers are dynamic, offering epidemiologists a new approach to linking early life and environmental exposures with disease risk [ 3 ].
