Research summary

The paper claims that perceived social cohesion can buffer the negative effects of socioeconomic deprivation on epigenetic aging. This research is relevant as it explores the interplay between social factors and biological aging, addressing potential root causes of aging rather than merely focusing on age-related diseases.
