Lifecourse determinants and outcomes of epigenetic age acceleration across two generations
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE This study will help evaluate epigenetic age, a biological marker that holds promise as a new tool to measure the pace of aging. The proposed research will help identify modifiable lifestyle factors that predict the pace of aging, which can help inspire interventions aimed at helping individuals achieve longer and healthier lives. This study will address the causes of aging in a lower-middle-income country where life expectancies are increasing and placing new demands on health care and public health infrastructures.
