Methylation-Based Biological Age and Hypertension Prevalence and Incidence

Jacob K. Kresovich et al.

Summary: This study found a positive association between hypertension and DNA methylation-based biological age metrics in older individuals. Women with higher biological age were more likely to have prevalent hypertension at baseline and to be diagnosed with incident hypertension during follow-up. These findings suggest that epigenetic markers may be helpful in early diagnosis and treatment of hypertension.

Air Pollution and Mortality at the Intersection of Race and Social Class

Kevin P. Josey et al.

Summary: Black Americans and low-income Americans are more exposed to air pollution containing fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and may be more susceptible to its health effects. Lacking information on PM2.5 exposure and mortality in marginalized subpopulations categorized according to race and socioeconomic position hinders the Environmental Protection Agency's regulatory decision-making. Lower PM2.5 levels have greater mortality benefits for low-income Blacks, low-income Whites, and low-income Blacks than for high-income Whites.

Contributions of neighborhood social environment and air pollution exposure to Black-White disparities in epigenetic aging

Isabel Yannatos et al.

Summary: Racial disparities in aging-related health outcomes among older Americans, known as weathering, are influenced by individual socioeconomic status, neighborhood social environment, and air pollution exposures. Black individuals have significantly accelerated DNA methylation (DNAm) aging compared to White individuals. Socioeconomic status and neighborhood deprivation contribute to the disparity in DNAm aging, while fine particulate matter exposure may also play a role for Black individuals. DNAm aging may contribute to age-related health disparities between older Black and White Americans.

Air pollution exposure disparities across US population and income groups

Abdulrahman Jbaily et al.

Summary: Air pollution, particularly exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), contributes significantly to global mortality rates. In the United States, racial/ethnic minorities and lower-income groups face a higher risk of death from PM2.5 exposure. Additionally, disparities in air pollution exposure exist among different population and income groups. Regions with higher proportions of White and Native American populations consistently experience lower PM2.5 levels compared to regions with higher proportions of Black, Asian, Hispanic, or Latino populations. Low-income areas consistently have higher average PM2.5 levels than high-income areas. Moreover, exposure disparities relative to safety standards set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and World Health Organization have increased over time. These findings highlight the need for targeted measures to reduce PM2.5 and ensure equitable environmental protection. This study is observational and cannot provide insights into the driving factors behind the identified disparities.

Daniel W. Belsky et al.

Summary: This study reports a novel blood biomarker of aging called DunedinPACE, which was validated in five datasets. Results showed that DunedinPACE is associated with morbidity, disability, and mortality, and provides incremental prediction beyond the GrimAge clock. This finding is significant for gerontology and geroscience research.

Summary: Nested case-control or case-cohort sampling methods in cohort studies can reduce costs and provide flexibility and efficiency. However, these methods are underutilized in epidemiologic literature. Recent advances in statistical methods and software have made analysis of case-cohort data easier and applicable to a variety of research questions and populations.

Historical Redlining Is Associated with Present-Day Air Pollution Disparities in US Cities

Haley M. Lane et al.

Summary: Communities of color in the United States are disproportionately exposed to higher levels of air pollution, and this study shows a connection between this disparity and the historical redlining policy. The research finds that air pollution levels have a consistent association with redlining grade, and the disparities in NO2 and PM2.5 pollution levels based on redlining grade are larger than those based on race and ethnicity.

PM2.5 polluters disproportionately and systemically affect people of color in the United States

Christopher W. Tessum et al.

Summary: In the United States, racial-ethnic minorities are disproportionately exposed to high levels of ambient fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5), with nearly all major emission categories contributing to the systemic PM2.5 exposure disparity experienced by people of color. By identifying the most inequitable emission source types by state and city, potential opportunities for addressing this persistent environmental inequity are highlighted.

Air pollution and DNA methylation in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies

Yuying Wu et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the association between air pollution and DNA methylation in adults, finding an imprecise but inverse association between PM2.5 exposure and global DNA methylation levels. Candidate-gene results consistently suggest hypermethylation in ERCC3 associated with benzene exposure and that in SOX2 associated with PM2.5 exposure. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) network analyses revealed potential associations with various diseases, indicating the need for more evidence to clarify the relationship between air pollution and DNA methylation.
