Experts from the University of Essex and University of Adelaide have shared results of a study.
Biological ageing refers to the decline in functioning of the body's tissues and cells, regardless of actual ageLiving in a privately rented home is related to faster biological ageing, researchers have claimed.They found renting privately, falling behind with rent payments or living in a home affected by pollution was linked with faster biological ageing.
Previous studies have suggested that biological ageing can accelerate during stressful events and reverse once the stress has stopped.Writing in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, the researchers said the "stress-induced acceleration of epigenetic ageing" might contribute to the long-known link between psychological stress and disease.
The combined university research teams used data on housing and DNA methylation - a chemical marker of DNA changes - from the UK Household Longitudinal Study, linked with prior survey responses from the British Household Panel Survey . Further health information was collected from the 1,420 people in the BHPS survey, and blood samples taken for DNA methylation analysis.
