Description
Jessica Faul and co-authors set out in 2023 a plan to test how life-long social position shapes aging in the body. Past work links low social and economic position with faster aging as shown in DNA marks. What stays unclear is whether harm comes most from hard times in childhood, from long exposure, or from recent hardship.
The team uses a structured method that pits these three ideas against each other. Their data come from about 4,000 adults in a United States health and retirement study, with blood samples from 2016. By weighing which idea fits best, the work aims to show when support might help most to slow aging linked to hardship.
