Epigenetic aging measured by physiological-age-trained clocks

Self-reported White race is associated with epigenetic aging measured by physiological-age-trained clocks in humans (Lower for three of four physiological-age-trained measures).

“White respondents had lower epigenetic aging than Black respondents for three out of four measures trained on physiological age”

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