Résumé

Earlier pubertal timing is associated with accelerated epigenetic aging, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. This three-wave longitudinal study examined negative health behaviors, specifically substance use, short sleep duration, and poor diet quality in middle adolescence, as mediators of links between earlier phenotypic and perceived pubertal timing measured in early adolescence and epigenetic aging on three epigenetic clocks in late adolescence (GrimAge, DunedinPACE, and PhenoAge). Phenotypic pubertal timing measured physical pubertal maturation relative to chronological age, whereas perceived pubertal timing was based on adolescents' subjective interpretation of their pubertal timing relative to their peers. Participants included 1213 youth (51% female, 49% male; 62% Black, 34% White) who participated during early adolescence (mean age = 13.10 years), middle adolescence (mean age = 16.1 years) and late adolescence (mean age = 19.7 years). Results from a mediation model revealed a mediation effect of earlier phenotypic pubertal timing on accelerated GrimAge in late adolescence through higher substance use during middle adolescence. There was also a direct effect of earlier phenotypic pubertal timing on accelerated DunedinPACE in males. Sleep duration and diet quality did not emerge as mediators but shorter sleep duration predicted accelerated GrimAge in females. These findings suggest that higher substance use presents a mechanism through which earlier maturing youth experience faster epigenetic aging that puts them at risk for poorer health across the lifespan.
