Abstract

Racial discrimination experiences are associated with the activation of stress biology pathways and signs of accelerated biological aging, including alterations in DNA methylation (DNAm). Coping strategies may mitigate stress from racial discrimination and protect against long-term adverse health outcomes. We conducted a secondary analysis of data from the Intergenerational Impact of Genetic and Psychological Factors on Blood Pressure cohort, an all-African-American sample, to test the hypothesis that social support can protect against accelerated biological aging associated with experiences of racial discrimination. We measured biological aging from saliva DNAm using six epigenetic clocks. Clock values were residualized on participant age and the estimated proportion of epithelial cells contributing to the DNA sample and standardized to M = 0, SD = 1 within the analysis sample. The primary analysis was focused on the second-generation PhenoAge and GrimAge clocks and the third-generation DunedinPACE "speedometer," which previous studies have linked with racial discrimination. In our sample ( = 234; mean age = 31.9 years; SD = 5.80), we found evidence consistent with our hypothesis in the case of the PhenoAge clock, but not the other clocks. Among mothers who did not seek social support, experiences of racial discrimination were associated with an older PhenoAge (b = 0.26, 95% CI = 0.02-0.50, = 0.03). However, social-support seeking mitigated this risk; at the highest levels of social support, no adverse consequences of discrimination were observed (interaction b = -0.01, 95% CI = -0.02--0.00, = 0.03). The replication of results is needed. Future research should also investigate additional adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies utilized by African American women and mothers to identify protective measures that influence health outcomes.

摘要

种族歧视经历与应激生物学途径的激活以及生物衰老加速的迹象有关,包括DNA甲基化(DNAm)的改变。应对策略可能会减轻种族歧视带来的压力,并预防长期不良健康后果。我们对“遗传和心理因素对血压的代际影响”队列研究中的数据进行了二次分析,该队列研究样本全部为非裔美国人,以检验社会支持能否预防与种族歧视经历相关的生物衰老加速这一假设。我们使用六个表观遗传时钟从唾液DNAm中测量生物衰老。时钟值在参与者年龄和对DNA样本有贡献的上皮细胞估计比例上进行残差化处理,并在分析样本中标准化为M = 0,SD = 1。主要分析集中在第二代PhenoAge和GrimAge时钟以及第三代达尼丁PACE“速度计”上,先前的研究已将它们与种族歧视联系起来。在我们的样本(n = 234;平均年龄 = 31.9岁;SD = 5.80)中,我们发现就PhenoAge时钟而言,有证据支持我们的假设,但其他时钟则不然。在未寻求社会支持的母亲中,种族歧视经历与更高的PhenoAge相关(b = 0.26,95%CI = 0.02 - 0.50,p = 0.03)。然而,寻求社会支持减轻了这种风险;在社会支持水平最高时,未观察到歧视的不良后果(交互作用b = -0.01,95%CI = -0.02 - -0.00,p = 0.03)。需要重复验证结果。未来的研究还应调查非裔美国女性和母亲采用的其他适应性和适应不良的应对策略,以确定影响健康结果的保护措施。
