Childhood and Adult Socioeconomic Status, Obesity, and Biological Aging.

This study uses MIDUS data to investigate the differential associations between childhood and adulthood socioeconomic status (SES) on epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) and examines the moderating role of obesity in adulthood for these links. Preliminary findings suggest that obesity may exacerbate the long-term impact of childhood socioeconomic disadvantage on EAA.
