Paper

Abstract

Sleep is a biological necessity and fundamental to health. However, the associations of sleep patterns (integrating sleep determinants) with DNA methylation age acceleration (DNAm AA) remain unknown. We aimed to investigate the associations of sleep patterns with DNAm AA.

Research summary

The paper claims that specific sleep patterns are associated with DNA methylation age acceleration in middle-aged and older adults. This research is relevant as it explores the relationship between sleep, a fundamental biological process, and a biomarker of aging, potentially contributing to our understanding of aging mechanisms.
