Obesity accelerates epigenetic aging of human liver [PDF]
Significance Because obese people are at an increased risk of many age-related diseases, it is a plausible hypothesis that obesity increases the biological age of some tissues and cell types. However, it has been difficult to detect such an accelerated aging effect because it is unclear how to measure tissue age.

The early-life exposome and epigenetic age acceleration in children [PDF]
The early-life exposome influences future health and accelerated biological aging has been proposed as one of the underlying biological mechanisms. We investigated the association between more than 100 exposures assessed during pregnancy and in childhood

Pregnancy can exacerbate or prompt the onset of stress-related disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is associated with heightened stress responsivity and emotional dysregulation, as well as increased risk of chronic disorders ...

Cytomegalovirus infection accelerates epigenetic aging
Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation (DNAm) have a central role in the regulation of gene expression and thereby in cellular differentiation and tissue homeostasis. It has recently been shown that aging is associated with profound changes in DNAm. Several of these methylation changes take place in a clock-like fashion, i.e.

Epigenetic clock analysis of blood samples in drug-naive first-episode schizophrenia patients
Background Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a severe and chronic psychiatric disorder with premature age-related physiological changes. However, numerous previous studies examined the epigenetic age acceleration in SCZ patients and yielded inconclusive results. In

Work-related stress and well-being in association with epigenetic age acceleration: a Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 Study [PDF]
Recent evidence indicates consistent association of low socioeconomic status with epigenetic age acceleration, measured from DNA methylation. As work characteristics and job stressors are crucial components of socioeconomic status, we investigated their ...

Epigenetic clocks derived from western samples differentially reflect Taiwanese health outcomes
Introduction: Several epigenetic clocks have been developed, with five measures of epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) especially receiving extensive investigations: HannumEAA, IEAA, PhenoEAA, GrimEAA, and DunedinPACE.

Associations between prenatal phthalate exposure and childhood epigenetic age acceleration [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Phthalates, a group of pervasive endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in plastics and personal care products, have been associated with a wide range of developmental and health outcomes.

Epigenetic Age Acceleration [PDF]
See Article by Roetker et al Epigenetic age seems like a concept pulled from a futuristic science-fiction movie where a drop of blood is fed into a machine, in which an algorithm churns through an accumulation of chemical groups coating a strand of DNA and spits out an individual’s true age reflecting a lifetime of experiences and exposures ...

Short Sleep and Insomnia Are Associated With Accelerated Epigenetic Age
ABSTRACT Objective Short sleep and insomnia are each associated with a greater risk of age-related disease, which suggests that insufficient sleep may accelerate biological aging. We examine whether short sleep and insomnia alone or together relates to epigenetic age among older adults.
