Abstract

Objective: This study examined early adolescent interpersonal aggression, subsequent conflict with parents, and aggression toward close peers as predictors of accelerated biological aging by age 30.

Method: Participants (N = 123; 46 males and 75 females) were assessed repeatedly, along with parents and close friends, ages from 13 to 30.

Results: Early adolescent interpersonal aggression was found to predict later accelerated aging even after accounting for adolescent gender, family income, prior health difficulties, and body shape ratings in adolescence. Path analyses suggested that the effects of early interpersonal aggression were potentially mediated via higher levels of father-adolescent conflict reported by fathers in adolescence and by aggressive behavior toward close peers as reported by those peers in early adulthood. Follow-up analyses suggested that these same factors also predicted adult body mass index scores after accounting for body shape in adolescence.

Conclusions: Results are interpreted as evidence that social difficulties with lifelong health implications may be identified beginning in early adolescence, thus highlighting the potential importance of early interventions to address these difficulties.

从青少年早期人际攻击到成年期加速衰老的预测：关联的关系和生物学机制。

目的：本研究探讨了青少年早期的人际攻击、随后与父母的冲突以及对亲密同伴的攻击作为30岁前生物衰老加速的预测因子。方法：参与者（N = 123，男性46人，女性75人）与父母和亲密朋友一起反复评估，年龄从13岁到30岁。结果：在考虑了青少年性别、家庭收入、既往健康问题和青少年体型评分等因素后，发现青少年早期人际攻击可以预测随后的加速衰老。通径分析表明，早期人际攻击的影响可能通过父亲在青春期报告的较高水平的父亲-青少年冲突和同伴在成年早期报告的对亲密同伴的攻击行为来调节。后续分析表明，考虑到青少年时期的体型，这些相同的因素也能预测成年人的体重指数得分。结论：研究结果表明，具有终身健康影响的社交困难可能从青春期早期就开始出现，因此强调了早期干预对解决这些困难的潜在重要性。（PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2026 APA，版权所有）。
