DNA Methylation Study Finds Association Between Biological Aging, Adverse Childhood Experiences
The findings show that people who experienced adverse childhood experiences such as negligence or violence have accelerated biological aging later in life.
The team measured changes in DNA methylation in more than 1,200 patients to create an algorithm to determine kidney function and predict decline.
Elevated Epigenetic Aging Puts Childhood Cancer Survivors at Risk of Obesity, Other Conditions
A cross-sectional study of epigenetic aging in 2,846 pediatric cancer survivors also found that the rate at which epigenetic aging changed differed between age groups.
Biological Age Rises Following Stress, Falls After Recovery, Epigenetic Study Finds
In a study using multiple epigenetic clock measures, researchers found that biological age does not always follow an upward trajectory.
