iety, but also physical health like cardiovascular disease(心血管病), diabetes and cancer, said Katie Mclaugllin, PhD, an associate professor of psychology at Harvard University and senior author of the study published in the journal Psychological Bulletin.Our study suggests that experiencingviolence can make the body age more quickly at a biological level, which may help to explain that connection.”Previous research found mixed evidence on whether childhood adversity is always linked to accelerated aging. However, those studies looked at many different types of adversity abuse, neglect, poverty and more and at several different measures of biological aging. To distinguish the results, McLaughlin and her colleagues decided to look separately at two categories of adversity: threatrelated adversity, such as abuse and violence, and deprivation related(與缺乏有關(guān)的) adversity, such as physical or emotional neglect or poverty.The researchers performed an analysis(分析) of almost 80 studies, with more than 116,000 total participants. They found that children who suffered threatrelated trauma such as violence or abuse were more likely to enter adolescence early and also showed signs of accelerated aging on a cellular levelincluding shortened telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of our strands of DNA that wear down as we age. However, children who experienced poverty or neglect did not show either of those signs of early aging.In a second analysis, Mclaughlin and her colleagues systematically reviewed 25 studies with more than 3, 253 participants that examined how earlylife adversity affects brain development. They found that adversity was associated with reduced cortical (表層) thickness a sign of aging because the cortex thins as people age.32. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?A. To bring in a finding.
