Description
Wu and six colleagues link social traits to aging related gene activity in older Americans in twenty twenty-three. Certain gene programs in blood cells respond to stress, DNA damage, and cell aging. Social and environmental exposures can tune those programs. The team asked how age, sex, and race or ethnic group relate to three such scores.
They used RNA data from a national sample of two thousand six hundred eighty adults aged fifty-five and older. Older age linked to lower scores on an inflammation related program and a cell aging program. Women scored higher on parts of the stress response program than men. Black and Hispanic adults showed lower cell aging scores than White adults. Adjusting for health habits and conditions changed the results little.
