To distinguish the results, McLaughlin and her colleagues decided to look separately at two categories of adversity: threat-related adversity, such as abuse and violence, and deprivation- related(与缺乏有关的) advers

They found that children who suffered threat-related trauma such as violence or abuse were more likely to enter adolescence early and also

42、showed signs of accelerated aging on a cellular level-including shortened telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of our strands of DNA that wear down as we age. However, children who experienced poverty or neglect did not show either of those signs of early aging.In a second analysis, Mclaughlin

43、 and her colleagues systematically reviewed 25 studies with more than 3, 253 participants that examined how early-life adversity affects brain development. They found that adversity was associated with reduced cortical (表层) thickness- a sign of aging because the cortex thins as people age.32. What i

How did Mclaughlin and her colleagues conduct the research?A. By interviewing participants. B. By listing mixed evidence.C. By making an analysis. D. By collect
