No Consistent Evidence that Ageism Is Linked to Biological Aging Status in the US Health and Retirement Study

Further research should investigate why; potentially, ageism has less time to become biologically embedded, compared to racism and sexism, which might be experienced throughout one's life, but measurement challenges could also be present.
