  1. In a model which assessed both objective measures of neighborhood quality (neighborhood principal component 7 [PC7]) as well as subjective measures of neighborhood quality (whether the neighborhood was close knit and whether the neighborhood was a good place to live according to study participants), only the objective measure was associated with the epigenetic mortality risk score [27]. Effect estimates are given in per unit increases in the epigenetic mortality risk score per a one unit increase in the neighborhood quality principal component
