The length of your telomeres may have a lot do with the "biological clock". Telomeres are sequences of non-coding ("junk") sequences at the end of your chromosomes. Because your DNA gets a little bit shorter every time it replicates, your telomeres get shorter and shorter as you age. Once these telomeres are gone you will have more difficulty replicating DNA.

The biological clock refers to your circadian rhythm, which regulates sleep/wake cycles. It is controlled by melatonin secretions by the pineal gland. In popular usage, it may also refer to a woman's age in relation to her fertility.

Another words, yes/no, depends on your life style/habbits and many other factors/heir is low, but is a factor.
