Parenting program may shield babies from stress aging
NCT ID NCT06740266
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a 10-week parenting support program (PFR-PC) can reduce stress in mothers and slow cellular aging in their infants. Researchers will measure telomere length and epigenetic age from blood samples of 250 mother-infant pairs from under-resourced families. The goal is to understand how early life stress gets 'under the skin' and whether supportive parenting can make a difference.
