Recent research conducted by the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in collaboration with Columbia University has revealed a notable connection between socio-economic factors and biological aging.
The study synthesizes data from 140 individual studies, encompassing nearly 66,000 participants, to explore how lower socio-economic status may accelerate biological aging.
These findings underscore the importance of addressing poverty and discrimination as critical issues that could impact health outcomes across populations.
