from the study:

 

"Cumulative lifetime stress may accelerate epigenetic aging, an effect that could be driven by glucocorticoid-induced epigenetic changes. These findings contribute to our understanding of mechanisms linking chronic stress with accelerated aging and heightened disease risk."

Is the "epigenetic clock CpGs" real? I haven't heard much about it on longecity.
