First, low SES in childhood is a recognized risk factor for age - related
disease, such as cardiovascular
disease.24 Childhood socioeconomic disadvantage predicts age - related -
disease risks, such as elevated inflammation levels and the clustering
of metabolic risk
markers in adulthood.25 - 27 In contrast, the effect
of low childhood SES on later depression risk is debated.28 Second, retrospective investigations and some prospective studies have
shown that childhood maltreatment could contribute to age - related -
disease risks.
These abnormalities tend to cluster in the same individuals.18, 19 Evidence

of metabolic risk
markers frequently co-occur in the same individuals, and their co-occurrence is associated with the greatest
disease risk.20, 21 To improve life quality in aging populations, it is critical to gain a better understanding
of the origins
of these 3 age - related -

of study members had none
of the risks, 30.2 % had 1 risk, and 10.3 % had 2 or more risks.
