Description
Edwin Aroke and co-authors test whether faster biological aging links low income to worse back pain outcomes, in a 2024 study. Chronic low back pain hits poorer adults harder, and a DNA based pace of aging measure can capture wear on the body. The sample held 207 adults with no pain, mild pain, or high impact pain.
On average the group aged about five percent faster than the normal pace. More schooling tracked with slower aging, and lower income tracked with faster aging plus higher pain and poorer function. In mediation tests, aging pace carried part of the link between income and pain intensity, interference, and performance. Schooling's link did not run through aging pace in the same way. The authors argue body aging is one path from poverty to pain.
