Chemical exposures linked to faster DNA-based aging in older adults

A doubling of exposure to the chemical 2-hydroxyfluorene was linked to a 0.491-year increase in a DNA-based measure of accelerated aging.A doubling of exposure to the chemical 2-hydroxyfluorene was linked to a 0.491-year increase in a DNA-based measure of accelerated aging.
