Worries About Aging May Accelerate Cellular Aging in Women, NYU Study Finds

A 2025 NYU study of 726 U.S. women links higher aging-related anxiety—especially fears about declining health—with faster cellular aging as shown by the DunedinPACE clock (and corroborated by GrimAge2). The effect is modest, cross-sectional, and does not establish causation; behavioral coping (e.g., smoking, alcohol use) may mediate the relationship. The finding suggests a mind–body link in aging but requires longitudinal research to determine direction and generalizability beyond women.

Artful aging: regular arts engagement may slow biological clocks

A UK study of more than 3,500 adults found that engaging in weekly arts or cultural activities (visiting museums, crafting, singing, etc.) is linked to slower biological aging across several epigenetic clocks. The DunedinPACE clock showed up to 4% slower aging for those with weekly activity, and PhenoAge suggested about a one-year younger biological age, with stronger effects in middle-aged adults, indicating arts participation may promote health similarly to regular exercise.
