Parental Influence: Childhood caregiver well‐being associates with epigenetic aging among older adults
Our findings provide evidence for protective and negative biological aging outcomes associated with primary compared to secondary parental well-being. Thus, it is important to consider social context on aging outcomes. The findings underscore the import of caregivers in the health of older adults. This research line may inform population-level health interventions.
