TL;DR: Findings support the view that chronic financial pressures associated with low income exert a weathering effect that results in premature aging.

TL;DR: Exposure to discrimination and segregation during the juvenile years predicted adult inflammation and amplified the inflammatory effect of adult exposure to these race-related stressors, which were considerably more robust than that of traditional health risk factors such as diet, exercise, smoking, and low SES.

TL;DR: It is shown that there is substantial instability in both the presence and quality of romantic relationships during the transition to adulthood, and particular patterns of instability are uniquely associated with changes in mental and physical health.

TL;DR: No significant association is found between simply being in a romantic relationship and desistance from offending and the mediating effect of change in affiliation with deviant peers was not significant once the contribution of criminogenic knowledge structure was taken into account.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the toll of an increasingly tenuous and uncertain transition to adulthood extends beyond young people to their parents, and increased public investments during this transition may not only reduce inequality and improve life chances for young people themselves, but may also enhance healthy aging by relieving the heavy burden on parents to help their children navigate this transition.
