Familial loss accelerates biological aging?

This fascinating study in JAMA Network examines how the loss of a family member may impact one's rate of biological aging:

"We found that adults with a history of loss had higher biological ages than those without such experiences. More losses were associated with older biological age. These findings suggest that loss can accelerate biological aging even before midlife and frequency of losses may compound this, potentially leading to earlier chronic diseases and mortality. "
