Obesity and accelerated epigenetic aging in a high-risk cohort of children

2021-11-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> New insights into mechanisms linking obesity to poor health outcomes suggest a role for cellular aging pathways, casting obesity as a disease of accelerated biological aging. Although obesity has been linked to accelerated epigenetic aging in middle-aged adults, the impact during childhood remains unclear. We tested the association between body mass index (BMI) and accelerated epigenetic aging...
