Updated

Abstract

Childhood history of maltreatment may be linked to biological age in late midlife.

  • A cohort study examined the potential relationship between childhood maltreatment and biological age later in life.
  • Participants with a history of maltreatment could show differences in biological aging compared to those without such experiences.
  • Findings suggest that early adverse experiences may influence biological markers of aging in adulthood.
