Perceived Stress is Associated with Accelerated Monocyte/Macrophage Aging Trajectories in Clinically Normal Adults
Open accessAbstract
Objectives Chronic stress is associated with poorer age-related cognition, but the mechanisms of this relationship are not well understood. Aging increases expression of activated macrophages, leading to exacerbated immune responses to stressors. We examined the impact of stress and aging on macrophage-related inflammation and cognition in clinically normal adults.Methods Three hundred eighty clinically normal adults were followed longitudinally (age M = 73 years; visit range: 1-8; M = 2.5 visits). Participants completed the Perceived Stress Scale, a neuropsychological battery, and blood draws. Plasma was analyzed for cytokines related to macrophage function (interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor alpha, macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha, macrophage inflammatory protein-1 beta). Linear mixed-effects examined the effects of age, baseline stress, and their interaction predicting macrophage cytokines, adjusting for sex, education, and depressive symptoms. Latent growth curve models assessed the mediating role of macrophage cytokines in the relationship between age and cognition in high or low stress.Results Baseline perceived stress interacted with age to predict macrophage cytokines longitudinally. Specifically, high-stress adults demonstrated accelerated age-related elevations in macrophage cytokines across time. Macrophage cytokines negatively tracked with executive functioning longitudinally. Macrophage cytokines mediated 19% of the relationship between age and executive function in high-stress, but not low-stress, adults.Conclusions Our data provide evidence of accelerated immune aging among individuals with high stress. Elevated macrophage cytokine trajectories mediated the effect of age on executive function only in individuals with high stress, suggesting these constructs may be more tightly linked in elevated stress contexts. Stress interventions are warranted to optimize immune aging, with possible downstream cognitive benefits among even clinically normal adults.

Improving mental health and alleviating psychological stress have a positive effect on aging.
“These findings suggest that improving mental health and alleviating psychological stress have a positive effect on aging.”

The Conclusions associate higher perceived stress with accelerated immune-aging trajectories in clinically normal adults and recommend stress-reduction interventions as a potential way to improve aging outcomes. They do not test whether alleviating stress improves aging, and the reported effects were independent of mood; the broader claim about improving mental health is not established. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
