Hi r/science – been a minute, but excited to share this study conducted by Dr Livia Gerber that found social bonds decrease epigenetic age in male bottlenose dolphins.
The researchers studied 50 skin tissue samples from 38 bottlenose dolphins in Shark Bay, Western Australia, and found that individuals with better, tighter social bonds aged slower, and therefore likely had easier lives. This is the first time research has shown a reduction in biological age due to strong social bonds.
Let us know if you have any questions on the study, and if you like, you can read the full paper here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-025-09227-w
