Researchers at The Ohio State University in the US examined blood from pregnant women to evaluate the length of telomeres. Shorter telomeres mean an older cellular age.
The researchers also asked the mothers-to-be about stressors, including low socioeconomic status and trauma during their childhood and current social support.
They found that women who reported low socioeconomic status as kids and who struggled with family support as adults were biologically older.
