Paper

Abstract

Social determinants of health are fundamental drivers of health inequities. Education and income are inversely associated with accelerated aging, but less is known about differences in their association with aging by race/ethnicity. We examined the sex-specific association between each social determinant of health with biological age and by race/ethnicity.

Research summary

The paper claims that social determinants of health, such as education and income, are associated with biological age and vary by race/ethnicity. This research is relevant as it explores the underlying social factors that may influence aging processes and health disparities, which are critical for understanding longevity and potential interventions.
