Pol Grootswagers published a paper "Meal Protein Quality Score: A novel tool to evaluate protein quantity and quality of meals" in Current Developments in Nutrition in August 2024. Background The recent shift towards increased plant-based protein consumption has necessitated the development of new tools to evaluate the quality and quantity of protein in meals, [...]
Pol Grootswagers published a paper “Discovering the direct relations between nutrients and epigenetic ageing” in The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging in September 2024. “In our recent study, we explored the direct relationships between nutrient intake and epigenetic ageing using data from 3,969 postmenopausal women participating in the Women’s Health Initiative. We utilized [...]
Fatih Bogaards published a paper "Secondary integrated analysis of multi-tissue transcriptomic responses to a combined lifestyle intervention in older adults from the GOTO nonrandomized trial" in Nature Communication in August 2024. Molecular effects of lifestyle interventions are typically studied in a single tissue. Here, we perform a secondary analysis on the sex-specific effects of [...]
Jordi Morwani-Mangnarni published a paper “Physical activity and fiber intake beneficial for muscle mass and strength preservation during aging: A Comprehensive Cross-Sectional Study in the UK Biobank cohort” in Experimental Gerontology in August 2024. “Aging triggers intricate physiological changes, particularly in whole-body fat-free mass (FFM) and handgrip strength, [...]
Yara van Holstein published a paper “The performance of metabolomics-based prediction scores for mortality in older patients with solid tumors” in GeroScience in July 2024 Prognostic information is needed to balance benefits and risks of cancer treatment in older patients. Metabolomics-based scores were previously developed to predict 5- and 10-year mortality (MetaboHealth) and biological [...]
Dear Colleagues, We are delighted to invite you to the DuSRA Annual Meeting 2024, scheduled to take place on October 14th and 15th at the Wageningen Campus, Aurora Building. The meeting shares the latest results in ageing research in the Netherlands. The aim is to share results, connect with other ageing researchers and clinicians, [...]
Kerstin Schorr published a narrative review "A plant-based diet index to study the relation between diet and disease risk among adults: a narrative review" in the Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging in June 2024 Plant-based diets (PBD) may offer various health benefits and contribute to a sustainable way of life, but, if not [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
In Cologne, from 30th of September till 4th of October 2024 a summer school for international bachelor and master students is being organized by stat-of-the-art aging researchers from several institutes in Cologne. International & national Bachelor and Master students from the field of Biology, Biochemistry, Biomedicine and other related Life Science disciplines are invited [...]
