Associations of combined accelerated biological aging and genetic susceptibility with incidence of heart failure in a population-based cohort study
The global aging population raises concerns about heart failure (HF), yet its association with accelerated biological age (BA) remains inadequately understood. We aimed to examine the longitudinal association between BA acceleration and incident HF risk, assess its modifying effect on genetic susceptibility, and how much BA acceleration mediates the impact of modifiable health behaviors on incident HF. We analyzed 274,608 UK Biobank participants without HF at baseline. Two BA accelerations...
Association of metabolomic aging acceleration and body mass index phenotypes with mortality and obesity-related morbidities
This study aims to investigate the association between metabolomic aging acceleration and body mass index (BMI) phenotypes with mortality and obesity-related morbidities (ORMs). 85,458 participants were included from the UK Biobank. Metabolomic age was determined using 168 metabolites. The Chronological Age-Adjusted Gap was used to define metabolomically younger (MY) or older (MO) status. BMI categories were defined as normal weight, overweight, and obese. Participants were categorized into MY...
Urolithin A and nicotinamide riboside differentially regulate innate immune defenses and metabolism in human microglial cells
INTRODUCTION: During aging, many cellular processes, such as autophagic clearance, DNA repair, mitochondrial health, metabolism, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels, and immunological responses, become compromised. Urolithin A (UA) and Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) are two naturally occurring compounds known for their anti-inflammatory and mitochondrial protective properties, yet the effects of these natural substances on microglia cells have not been thoroughly investigated. As both UA...
A study of the correlation between sarcopenia and cognitive impairment in older individuals over 60 years: cross-sectional and longitudinal validation
CONCLUSION: There is a correlation between sarcopenia and cognitive function, individuals with sarcopenia performing poorly in overall cognition as well as refined dimensions. The degree of cognition like fluency degenerates over time with increasing severity of sarcopenia.
