High plasma organochlorine pesticide levels are related to increased biological age as calculated by DNA methylation analysis
Background: Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) have been shown in the experimental setting to alter DNA methylation. Since DNA methylation changes during the life-span, formulas have been presented to calculate “DNA methylation age” as a measure of biological age. Objectives: We aimed to investigate i...
