Exposure to tobacco smoke in early life is associated with accelerated biological ageing

Accelerated biological aging is associated with exposure to tobacco smoke during pregnancy and early childhood, as well as with indoor exposure to black carbon. These are the conclusions of an analysis led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), an institution supported by the “la Caixa” Foundation, the first to evaluate associations between a large number of early-life environmental exposures and epigenetic age in children. The analysis was published in Environment International.
