Abstract:We aimed to understand the long-term impact of negative life events (NLE) on epigenetic aging in 1,808 adults from the Netherlands Twin Register, analyzing five epigenetic biomarkers (Hannum, Horvath, PhenoAge, GrimAge, DunedinPACE) and a series of NLE, including victimization and economic hardship. In population-level analyses, associations between a higher number of NLE (particularly financial adversities, sexual crimes, and job loss) were seen for GrimAge and DunedinPACE biomarkers. The association between … Show more
