Severe drought exposure in utero associates to children’s epigenetic age acceleration in a global climate change hot spot
16 May 2024
Abstract excerpt
The goal of this study is to examine the association between in utero drought exposure and epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) in a global climate change hot spot. Calculations of EAA in adults using DNA methylation have been found to accurately predict chronic disease and longevity. However, fewer studies have examined EAA in children, and drought exposure in utero has not been investigated. Additionally, studies...
