What is Association of Race and Poverty Status With DNA Methylation–Based Age about?
## Key Points ## Question As a biomarker of biological aging, does DNA methylation (DNAm) adequately assess the rate of change in aging over time among socioeconomically diverse middle-aged African American and White adults? ## Findings In this cohort study of 470 socioeconomically diverse middle-aged African American and White adults, household income below poverty level and African American race were associated with a higher DNAm-based pace of aging. ## Meaning These findings suggest that the DNAm-based pace of aging may provide insight into how social constructs such as race play a role in healthy aging.
