Observational study shows pesticide exposure associates with faster epigenetic aging, suggesting health implications for workers.
Occupational pesticide exposure was consistently associated with accelerated epigenetic aging, as measured by first-generation clocks such as the Hannum, with herbicides showing the most pronounced effect. Longitudinal occupational cohorts are warranted to confirm these associations and clarify the underlying mechanisms.
