The effects of social adversity, discrimination, and health risk behaviors on the accelerated aging of African Americans: Further support for the weathering hypothesis

Ronald L. Simons, Man-Kit Lei, Eric Klopack, Steven R. H. Beach, Frederick X. Gibbons, Robert A. Philibert

Summary: This study confirms the weathering hypothesis that adversity experienced by Black Americans accelerates biological aging, while health risk behaviors do not mediate this impact. Marriage status decelerates the speed of aging, and gender does not condition the effect of adversity.

DNA methylation differentiates smoking from vaping and non-combustible tobacco use

Allan Andersen, Rachel Reimer, Kelsey Dawes, Ashley Becker, Natasha Hutchens, Shelly Miller, Meesha Dogan, Brandon Hundley, James A. Mills, Jeffrey D. Long, Robert Philibert

Summary: This study found that DNA methylation status at cg05575921 can distinguish exposure to tobacco smoke from non-combusted sources of nicotine, such as e-cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. Additionally, propylene glycol levels were not reliable in distinguishing user groups. The combination of methylomic and metabolite profiling may allow for accurate classification of the use status of different nicotine-containing products.

Methylation of FKBP5 is associated with accelerated DNA methylation ageing and cardiometabolic risk: replication in young-adult and middle-aged Black Americans

Steven R. H. Beach, Mei Ling Ong, Man-Kit Lei, Sierra E. Carter, Ronald L. Simons, Frederick X. Gibbons, Robert A. Philibert

Summary: The methylation of FKBP5 is associated with accelerated DNA methylation ageing and predicts poorer cardiovascular health among young and middle-aged Black Americans. Exposure to community danger may influence FKBP5 methylation levels, which in turn affects accelerated ageing and cardiometabolic risk.

Unstable Childhood, Adult Adversity, and Smoking Accelerate Biological Aging Among Middle-Age African Americans: Similar Findings for GrimAge and PoAm

Ronald L. Simons, Mei Ling Ong, Man-Kit Lei, Eric Klopack, Mark Berg, Yue Zhang, Robert Philibert, Steven S. R. Beach

Summary: This study examined how childhood instability, adult adversity, and lifestyle predict accelerated GrimAge and PoAm. The results showed that childhood instability, adult financial hardship, and smoking were significant predictors of both clocks.

The relationship of smoking to cg05575921 methylation in blood and saliva DNA samples from several studies

Kelsey Dawes, Allan Andersen, Rachel Reimer, James A. Mills, Eric Hoffman, Jeffrey D. Long, Shelly Miller, Robert Philibert

Summary: Research indicates that cg05575921 methylation decreases in response to increasing cigarette consumption, showing a dose-dependent decrease. The ROC AUC for predicting daily smoking status using cg05575921 methylation in whole blood DNA was 0.98, and in saliva DNA it was 0.91 with correction for cellular heterogeneity improving the AUC to 0.94.

Alcohol Use Intensity Decreases in Response to Successful Smoking Cessation Therapy

Summary: Successful smoking cessation significantly reduces alcohol consumption. Targeted therapy for comorbid alcohol use may increase the success of smoking cessation for dual users.

Childhood adversity predicts black young adults' DNA methylation-based accelerated aging: A dual pathway model

Steven R. H. Beach, Frederick X. Gibbons, Sierra E. Carter, Mei Ling Ong, Justin A. Lavner, Man-Kit Lei, Ronald L. Simons, Meg Gerrard, Robert A. Philibert

Summary: This study builds upon prior research on the impact of childhood stressors and harsh environments on risky behavior and physical health, by adding measures of accelerated aging based on DNA methylation. The findings suggest that harsh childhood environments influence accelerated DNA aging through risky cognition and substance use pathways, as well as through the danger/FKBP5 pathway involving early exposure to threats and enhanced pro-inflammatory tendencies.

Additive and Interactive Genetically Contextual Effects of HbA1c on cg19693031 Methylation in Type 2 Diabetes

Kelsey Dawes, Willem Philibert, Benjamin Darbro, Ronald L. Simons, Robert Philibert

Summary: This study provides a new model for predicting T2D status in African Americans by evaluating the interaction between genes and methylation. The study found that certain gene-methylation interactions are associated with the development and complications of T2D, and correcting for genetic confounding improves the ability to detect T2D.

Do Loneliness and Per Capita Income Combine to Increase the Pace of Biological Aging for Black Adults across Late Middle Age?

Steven R. H. Beach, Eric T. Klopack, Sierra E. Carter, Robert A. Philibert, Ronald L. Simons, Frederick X. Gibbons, Mei Ling Ong, Meg Gerrard, Man-Kit Lei

Summary: In a study of 685 late middle-aged Black adults, the changes in both loneliness and per capita income were found to be associated with accelerated aging. The study also revealed that the average pace of change increased with age.

Epigenetic and Proteomic Biomarkers of Elevated Alcohol Use Predict Epigenetic Aging and Cell-Type variation Better Than Self-Report

Steven R. H. Beach, Mei Ling Ong, Frederick X. Gibbons, Meg Gerrard, Man-Kit Lei, Kelsey Dawes, Robert A. Philibert

Summary: Excessive alcohol consumption is associated with epigenetic aging, but self-report measures may not accurately reflect this association. Newly developed non-self-report indices provide a more accurate and effective assessment of the contribution of excessive alcohol consumption to accelerated epigenetic aging.

Predictors of Smoking in Older Adults and an Epigenetic Validation of Self-Report

Jeffrey D. D. Long, Michael P. Gehlsen, Joanna Moody, Gracie Weeks, Robert Philibert

Summary: We analyzed data from the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) to determine the predictive ability of gender, body mass index (BMI), marital status, and race on smoking behavior, with emphasis on gender interactions. The final selected variables for the prediction model were BMI, gender, BMI by gender, age, divorced (vs. married), education, and race.

Online acceptance and commitment therapy as treatment for loneliness among older adults: Report of a pilot study

Amie Zarling, Joseph Kim, Dan Russell, Carolyn Cutrona

Summary: This study examined the effectiveness of an online acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) program in reducing loneliness among older adults in the community. The results showed significant improvements in loneliness, especially for individuals who were lonely at the beginning of the intervention.

Changes in Loneliness, BDNF, and Biological Aging Predict Trajectories in a Blood-Based Epigenetic Measure of Cortical Aging: A Study of Older Black Americans

Ronald L. Simons, Mei Ling Ong, Man-Kit Lei, Steven R. H. Beach, Yue Zhang, Robert Philibert, Michelle M. Mielke

Summary: A recent study developed a new epigenetic measure of aging using human cortex tissue called cortical clock (CC). This CC outperformed existing blood-based epigenetic clocks in predicting brain age and neurological degeneration. The study also found that loneliness and BDNFm were robust predictors of accelerated CC-Bd, suggesting a link between brain health and overall aging of the organism.

The Reversion of the Epigenetic Signature of Coronary Heart Disease in Response to Smoking Cessation

Robert Philibert, Joanna Moody, Willem Philibert, Meeshanthini V. Dogan, Eric A. Hoffman

Summary: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of death worldwide, but current diagnostic tools like coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) aren't suitable for monitoring treatment response. We recently introduced an artificial intelligence-guided genetic-epigenetic test for CHD, which involves six assays to determine DNA methylation in CHD-related pathways. In a study on 39 subjects undergoing a 90-day smoking cessation intervention, we found that changes in DNA methylation related to smoking intensity were associated with the recovery of CHD-related methylation markers. Methylation-based approaches could be a scalable method for assessing the effectiveness of CHD interventions, and further research on the response of these epigenetic measures to other forms of CHD treatment is needed.

A simple, rapid, interpretable, actionable and implementable digital PCR based mortality index

Robert Philibert, Jeffrey D. Long, James A. Mills, S. R. H. Beach, Frederick X. Gibbons, Meg Gerrard, Ron Simons, Paulo B. Pinho, Douglas Ingle, Kelsey Dawes, Timur Dogan, Meeshanthini Dogan

Summary: This article discusses the recent advances in epigenetics for mortality assessments and introduces a method of developing and testing a mortality-risk algorithm using validated methylation biomarkers. The algorithm offers specific assessments and predictions for clinical use, demonstrating its potential as a powerful tool for assessing mortality risk.
