Paper

Abstract

We examined the associations of social network size and social support with biological age acceleration using a protein-based aging clock.

The following analysis is generated by AI and may contain errors. It is separate from the authors’ abstract and is not peer review.

Research summary

The paper claims that social network size and perceived social support are associated with biological age acceleration as measured by a proteomic aging clock. This research is relevant as it explores the relationship between social factors and biological aging, potentially addressing aspects of aging beyond mere symptom management.
