ABSTRACT Objective Lower socioeconomic status (SES) can accelerate immune aging; however, it is unknown whether and how lifespan context (SEC)—the relative wealth quality of the communities an individual lives in across their lifespan—impacts aging. We examined effects childhood adulthood SEC on late-differentiated cells investigated mediating moderating role cytomegalovirus (CMV), a key driver Methods Adults 60 years older ( N = 109) reported addresses from birth to age years, which were coded for county-level employment, education, income construct latent variable, averaged ages 0 18 (childhood SEC) 19 (adulthood SEC). Blood was drawn semiannually 5 CMV serostatus flow cytometry estimates CD8 + T natural killer cells. Models adjusted chronological age, time, sex, SES (current education). Results associated with higher percentages via seropositivity (indirect effects, p values .015–.028). In addition, interaction between T-cell aging .049) demonstrated that negatively among CMV− but not CMV+ adults. Conclusions Beyond current SES, related distinct patterns by phase. importantly may influence who acquires CMV, turn predicts levels aging, whereas protective against These initial results need be explored larger samples.
