CONCLUSIONS: Our results uncover sex-specific, nonlinear aging programs that capture the dynamics of epigenetic change beyond linear models. These findings provide potential candidate biomarkers for early disease risk and advance understanding of how aging trajectories diverge between sexes.

We utilized cross-sectional data from the Longitudinal Aging Study in India, a nationally representative study of individuals aged 45 years and above. Cooking fuel type was classified as households using clean fuels (CF) or non-CF. Based on kitchen type, non-CF was categorized into non-CF in...
