Paper

Abstract

Socioeconomic status (SES) has been widely associated with accelerated aging. However, the causal mechanisms underlying this relationship remain poorly understood. This study utilizes genetic data to explore the causal effect of SES on biological aging, with a focus on the mediating role of adiposity traits by using Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses.

Research summary

The paper claims that socioeconomic status has a causal effect on biological aging mediated by adiposity traits. This research is relevant as it explores the underlying mechanisms of aging and how socioeconomic factors can influence biological aging, potentially leading to interventions that address root causes of aging.
