Paper

Abstract

People with HIV (PWH) face accelerated aging and increased health risks, with DNA methylation age (DNAmAge) as a critical senescence biomarker. Particulate matter (PM) is linked to DNAmAge acceleration (AA) in general population, but its impact in PWH remains unstudied.

Research summary

Exposure to size-specific particulate matter is linked to accelerated DNA methylation aging in people living with HIV. This research addresses a potential environmental factor contributing to accelerated aging in a specific population, which is relevant to understanding the mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases.
