TL;DR: Evidence is provided that higher physical functioning is associated with better driving mobility and safety and that the SPPB may be useful for identifying at-risk drivers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted proof-of-concept testing of eight DNA-methylation and blood-chemistry quantifications of biological aging as mediators of disparities in healthspan between Black and White participants in the United States Health and Retirement Study (HRS; n=9005).
