DNA-methylation profile scores (MPSs) index biology relevant for lifelong physical and cognitive health, but information on their longitudinal stability in childhood is lacking. Using two waves of data collected from 2014 to 2022 (Mlag between = 2.41 years) N 407 participants (Mage 12.05 years, 51% female, 60% White), test-retest correlations were estimated four salivary MPSs related aging (PhenoAgeAccel, GrimAgeAccel, DunedinPACE), function (Epigenetic-g). varied (test-retest rs 0.38 0.76)....

Abstract Self-control is a personality dimension that associated with better physical health and longer lifespan. Here, we examined (1) whether self-control buccal saliva DNA-methylation (DNAm) measures of biological aging quantified in children, adolescents, adults, (2) measured DNAm self-reported health. Following preregistered analyses, computed two advanced age (principal-component PhenoAge GrimAge Acceleration) measure pace (DunedinPACE) samples from the German Socioeconomic Panel Study...

Abstract Background and Objectives Methylation profile scores (MPSs) index biological aging aging-related disease in adults are cross-sectionally associated with social determinants of health childhood. MPSs thus provide an opportunity to trace how biology responds environmental changes early life. Information regarding the stability life is currently lacking. Method We use longitudinal data from children adolescents ages 8-18 (N = 428, M age 12.15 years) Texas Twin Project. Participants...

Objective The study aimed to assess the prevalence of depression and its associated factors among university students in Bangladesh. Participants: A total 403 undergraduate from Patuakhali Science Technology University, Barisal University participated study. Method: cross-sectional was conducted using Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI). Result: (BDI ≥ 14) 47.14%. 3.4 times (95% CI: 1.6–7.1), 3.8 1.7–8.6), 3.9 1.5–8.9) higher 2nd, 3rd, 4th-year students, respectively than 1st-year students....

Childhood adversity has been associated with myriad physical, emotional, and mental health symptoms across the lifespan, including higher risk for substance abuse, depression, suicidal ideation, premature mortality. The current study evaluates association between cumulative adverse childhood experiences distress at admission discharge in an adolescent partial hospital program. Data were collected from 157 adolescents through clinical assessments administered during procedures (Youth Outcomes...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic and nationwide lockdowns forced individuals to transition their everyday, in‐person lives a remote, virtual setting. It was essential for many health care professionals become competent in telehealth practices within matter of days. As result, programming continue be options children families. Recent literature has highlighted the pros cons clinical care, including studies examining effectiveness remote versus delivery.
