Speeding Up Time: New Urinary Peptide Clock Associates Greater Air Pollution Exposures with Faster Biological Aging

Environ Health Perspect. 2024 Apr;132(4):44001. doi: 10.1289/EHP14528. Epub 2024 Apr 3.

Abstract

A study in Belgium supports earlier findings on associations between higher air pollution exposures and markers of faster biological aging, this time by using urinary peptide levels instead of DNA-based markers.
