Association of blood cadmium levels with epigenetic age acceleration in U.S. adults aged > 50 years
In this study, after adjusting for confounders, blood Cd levels were positively associated with PhenoAge acceleration and GrimAge acceleration in people over 50 in the United States. These results may be useful in proposing interventions in environmental exposures to slow the aging process and prevent age-related diseases.
