Epigenetic aging measured by chronological-age-trained clocks

Self-reported White race is associated with epigenetic aging measured by chronological-age-trained clocks in humans (Higher for six of seven chronological-age-trained measures).

“White respondents had higher epigenetic aging than Black respondents (the reference group) for six out of seven measures trained on chronological age”

HumansWhite versus Black respondents; adjusted for age, age-squared, gender, and nativityn = 2,402
