By Catrien Bijleveld, Dorret I. Boomsma, Jenny van Dongen, Bodine M.A. Gonggrijp
| BioRxiv
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.
