Broadens aging biomarker research to social exposures; leaves open effects on racial health equity in practice.
Adopting a compound exposome approach that includes social and neighborhood factors is recommended to ensure environmental aging biomarker research addresses racial health disparities.
Nwanaji‐Enwerem et al. (2021) conducted an editorial in Racial health disparities in environmental aging biomarker research. Compound exposome approach was evaluated. Adopting a compound exposome approach in environmental aging biomarker research is recommended to comprehensively characterize exposure-disease pathways and advance racial health equity.
