Researchers have determined that neighborhood conditions may be driving aging at the cellular level.
Their study in Social Science and Medicine finds that people living in neighborhoods with fewer social and economic opportunities such as jobs and stable housing are more likely to have an abundance of CDKN2A RNA, a measure of cellular aging.
“Our health is shaped not only by individual behaviors, but also by the environments we live in,” says Mariana Rodrigues, a PhD student at New Y
