Abstract:Background
To determine whether characterizing men and women based on rates of biological aging indexed by DNA methylation “GrimAge” reflect differences on measures of verbal and non‐verbal memory.
Method
Cross‐sectional data from 1,930 adults aged 65 or older (mean age = 75, SD = 7.4, Male = 43%, non‐Hispanic White = 74.8%, non‐Hispanic Black = 13.5%, Hispanic = 9.6%, other race/ethnicity = 2.1%) were included. The standardized residual from regressing chronological age on the DNA methylation GrimAge clock as… Show more
