Lifetime stress accelerates epigenetic aging in an urban, African American cohort: Relevance of glucocorticoid signaling
Chronic psychological stress is associated with accelerated aging and increased risk for aging-related diseases, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Results: We examined the effect of lifetime stressors on a DNA methylation-based age predictor, epigenetic clock.
