Summary
In this study, authors examined three USA-based and one Mexico-based cohorts to examine the biological mechanism that drives the influence of both parental and neighbourhood socio-economic status (SES) on health via epigenetic age acceleration (EAA). EAA was associated with paternal education in CARDIA and FFCWS. The authors found stronger associations for some paternal education categories among white adults, men and women. These findings suggested that EAA captures epigenetic impacts of paternal education independently of personal SES later in life.

Methods Used:

  • The authors used Pearson’s correlation coefficients to assess potential collinearity; linear regression to separately model Hannum’s EAA on each SES variable in CARDIA, followed by mutually adjusted models for all personal, parental or neighbourhood SES measures; and generalized estimating equations.

Sources Used:

  • Data from CARDIA, FFCWS, Project Viva, and PROGRESS cohorts.; Hannum's ESS (Horvath et al., 2016); Additional sources cited in the publication.
