Recovery and survival from aging-associated diseases.
(Exp Gerontol, 2013-08)
OBJECTIVES: Considering disease incidence to be a main contributor to healthy lifespan
of the US elderly population may lead to erroneous conclusions when recovery/long-term
remission factors are underestimated. Using two ...
Leukocyte telomere length, breast cancer risk in the offspring: the relations with father's age at birth.
(Mech Ageing Dev, 2011-04)
Recent studies have reported that leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is longer in offspring
of older fathers. Longer telomeres might increase cancer risk. We examined the relation
of father's age at the birth of the offspring ...
Interaction Between the FOXO1A-209 Genotype and Tea Drinking Is Significantly Associated with Reduced Mortality at Advanced Ages.
(Rejuvenation Res, 2016-06)
On the basis of the genotypic/phenotypic data from Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity
Survey (CLHLS) and Cox proportional hazard model, the present study demonstrates that
interactions between carrying FOXO1A-209 genotypes ...
Evaluation of genotype-specific survival using joint analysis of genetic and non-genetic subsamples of longitudinal data.
(Biogerontology, 2011-04)
Small sample size of genetic data is often a limiting factor for desirable accuracy
of estimated genetic effects on age-specific risks and survival. Longitudinal non-genetic
data containing information on survival or disease ...
Beta2-adrenergic receptor gene polymorphisms as systemic determinants of healthy aging in an evolutionary context.
(Mech Ageing Dev, 2010-05)
The Gln(27)Glu polymorphism but not the Arg(16)Gly polymorphism of the beta2-adrenergic
receptor (ADRB2) gene appears to be associated with a broad range of aging-associated
phenotypes, including cancers at different sites, ...
Early hematopoiesis inhibition under chronic radiation exposure in humans.
(Radiat Environ Biophys, 2010-05)
The major goal of this study was to identify and quantitatively describe the association
between the characteristics of chronic (low-dose rate) exposure to (low LET) ionizing
radiation and cellularity of peripheral blood ...
GxE interactions between FOXO genotypes and drinking tea are significantly associated with prevention of cognitive decline in advanced age in China.
(J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci, 2015-04)
Logistic regression analysis based on data from 822 Han Chinese oldest old aged 92+
demonstrated that interactions between carrying FOXO1A-266 or FOXO3-310 or FOXO3-292
and tea drinking at around age 60 or at present time ...
Estimation and validation of a multiattribute model of Alzheimer disease progression.
(Med Decis Making, 2010-11)
OBJECTIVES: To estimate and validate a multiattribute model of the clinical course
of Alzheimer disease (AD) from mild AD to death in a high-quality prospective cohort
study, and to estimate the impact of hypothetical ...
Trade-offs between cancer and other diseases: do they exist and influence longevity?
(Rejuvenation Res, 2010-08)
Relationships between aging, disease risks, and longevity are not yet well understood.
For example, joint increases in cancer risk and total survival observed in many human
populations and some experimental aging studies ...
Trade-offs in the effects of the apolipoprotein E polymorphism on risks of diseases of the heart, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders: insights on mechanisms from the Long Life Family Study.
(Rejuvenation Res, 2015-04)
The lack of evolutionary established mechanisms linking genes to age-related traits
makes the problem of genetic susceptibility to health span inherently complex. One
complicating factor is genetic trade-off. Here we focused ...
