Overall, epigenetic age exceeded chronological age by a highly significant margin (paired t(29) = 9.77, p < 0.001, 95% CI 15.28–23.36).
Overall, epigenetic age exceeded chronological age by a highly significant margin (paired t(29) = 9.77, p < 0.001, 95% CI 15.28–23.36).
However, this difference did not reach statistical significance (Welch’s t(22.6) = 1.04, p = 0.307), and the effect size (Cohen’s d ≈ 0.37) indicates only a small‐to‐moderate group separation, suggesting that a larger sample may be required to confirm this trend.
The results demonstrate an overall trend toward accelerated aging among PWH that was more pronounced in people with prior TB infection (both LTBI and active TB).
