This is the best summary I could come up with:
The study tracked a process called methylation in people who are part of the ongoing UK Household Longitudinal Survey.
As an observational study, the research was not able to determine what is causing the link between housing tenure and biological ageing, and the DNA samples analysed so far were only from white, European householders.
But the good news for renters is that the process is reversible and “improving or changing the conditions for people with faster biological ageing can correct this”, the authors state.
The authors stressed that the DNA methylation-derived measures are relatively new and more data will be collected to assess how biological ageing markers change over time.
Responding to the study, Dan Wilson Craw, the deputy chief executive of the campaign group Generation Rent, said: “Our home is so important to our health.
Private renters, who face the threat of arbitrary eviction and live in the worst quality housing, are particularly vulnerable to poor health as a result.
