TL;DR: Social isolation in childhood is associated with higher levels of C-reactive protein in mid-life, explained in part through complex mechanisms acting across the life course, which may help reduce long-term adult health risk.

TL;DR: The concept of an epigenetic clock is compelling, but caution should be taken in interpreting associations with age acceleration, and association tests of age acceleration should include age as a covariate.

TL;DR: The Mendelian randomization approach exploits genetic variants to improve causal inference when using observational data as mentioned in this paper, where the relation between long-term obesity and common mental disorders (CMD) by utilizing the known relation between fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) genotype and body mass index (BMI; weight (kg)/height (m) was examined.

TL;DR: In this article, a multichannel sequence analysis is used to characterise the domains of work, partnership and parenthood in combination across the adult life courses of three birth cohorts of British men and women between the ages of 16 and 42.

TL;DR: Risk exposure related to SEP accumulates across the life course and contributes to raised levels of fibrinogen and C-reactive protein, while childhood SEP influences hemostatic markers more than does adult SEP.
