Association of cardiovascular health and epigenetic age acceleration [PDF]
Abstract Background Cardiovascular health (CVH) has been defined by the American Heart Association (AHA) as the presence of the “Life’s Simple 7” ideal lifestyle and clinical factors. CVH is known to predict longevity and freedom from cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death for women in the United States.

Accelerated epigenetic aging in newborns with Down syndrome [PDF]
AbstractAccelerated aging is a hallmark of Down syndrome (DS), with adults experiencing early‐onset Alzheimer's disease and premature aging of the skin, hair, and immune and endocrine systems. Accelerated epigenetic aging has been found in the blood and brain tissue of adults with DS but when premature aging in DS begins remains unknown.

Metal mixtures and DNA methylation measures of biological aging in American Indian populations
Introduction: Native American communities suffer disproportionately from elevated metal exposures and increased risk for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. DNA methylation is a sensitive biomarker of aging-related processes and novel epigenetic-based “

Childhood sleep health and epigenetic age acceleration in late adolescence: cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses [PDF]
Aim: Investigate if childhood measures of sleep health are associated with epigenetic age acceleration in late adolescence. Methods: Parent-reported sleep trajectories from age 5 to 17, self-reported sleep problems at age 17, and six measures of ...

Epigenetic Age Acceleration Is Not Associated with Age-Related Macular Degeneration [PDF]
DNA methylation age (DNAm age) estimation is a powerful biomarker of human ageing. To date, epigenetic clocks have not been evaluated in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Here, we perform genome-wide DNA methylation analyses in blood of AMD patients with a documented smoking history (14 AMD, 16 Normal), identifying loci of differential ...

Accelerated epigenetic aging in Down syndrome [PDF]
SummaryDown Syndrome (DS) entails an increased risk of many chronic diseases that are typically associated with older age. The clinical manifestations of accelerated aging suggest that trisomy 21 increases the biological age of tissues, but molecular evidence for this hypothesis has been sparse. Here, we utilize a quantitative molecular marker of aging
