Identifying the relation between food groups and biological ageing: a data-driven approach

Ynte Biemans published a paper "Identifying the relation between food groups and biological ageing: a data-driven approach" in Age and Ageing in May 2024 Heterogeneity in ageing rates highlights the need for research into lifestyle factors that contribute to successful ageing. Biological age, estimated by epigenetic clocks, is a more accurate measure of ageing [...]

The AccelerAge framework: A new statistical approach to predict biological age based on time-to-event data

Marije Sluiskes et al. published a paper "The AccelerAge framework: A new statistical approach to predict biological age based on time-to-event data" in European Journal of Epidemiology in April 2024 They compare predictors based on the AccelerAge framework to a predictor based on the GrimAge predictor, which is considered one of the best-performing biological [...]

Late reproduction is associated with extended female survival but not with familial longevity

Annelien de Kat et al. published a paper “Late reproduction is associated with extended female survival but not with familial longevity” in Reproductive BioMedicine Online in April 2024! “They concluded that female reproductive health associates with a longer lifespan, though women from long-lived families do not show extended reproductive health. Other factors in somatic [...]

Unraveling interindividual variation of trimethylamine N‐oxide and its precursors at the population level

Sergio Andreu-Sánchez et al. published a paper "Unraveling interindividual variation of trimethylamine N‐oxide and its precursors at the population level" in iMeta in March 2024 Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a circulating microbiome-derived metabolite implicated in the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD). They investigated whether plasma levels of TMAO, its precursors (betaine, carnitine, [...]

Clarifying the biological and statistical assumptions of cross-sectional biological age predictors: an elaborate illustration using synthetic and real data

Marije Sluiskes et al. published a paper "Clarifying the biological and statistical assumptions of cross-sectional biological age predictors: an elaborate illustration using synthetic and real data" in BMC Medical Research Methodology in March 2024 Their main conclusion was that cross-sectional methods for predicting biological age commonly use the untestable identical-association assumption, which previous literature [...]

A conserved complex lipid signature marks human muscle aging and responds to short-term exercise

Georges Janssens et al. published a paper “A conserved complex lipid signature marks human muscle aging and responds to short-term exercise” in Nature Aging in February 2024 Studies in preclinical models suggest that complex lipids, such as phospholipids, play a role in the regulation of longevity. However, identification of universally conserved complex lipid changes [...]

Comprehensive evaluation of smoking exposures and their interactions on DNA methylation

Thanh Hoang et al. published a paper "Comprehensive evaluation of smoking exposures and their interactions on DNA methylation" in eBioMedicine in February 2024 Many smoking-related methylation sites were identified with Illumina’s EPIC array. Most signals revert to levels observed in never smokers within a year of cessation. Many in utero smoking CpGs persist into [...]
