About The Study: Adverse childhood experiences were associated with epigenetic age acceleration, a biomarker associated with various health outcomes in middle-age adults, after controlling for demographics, behavior, and socioeconomic status. These findings of the associations between early life experience and the biological aging process in midlife may contribute to health promotion in a life course perspective.
