Accelerated biological aging in COVID-19 patients

Nature Communications, 2022
Age is a risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe disease. Here the authors perform DNA methylation analyses in whole blood from COVID-19 patients using established epigenetic clocks and telomere length estimators, and describing correlations ...

Accelerated Aging and the Life Course of Individuals Born Preterm [PDF]

Children, 2023
Individuals born preterm have shorter lifespans and elevated rates of chronic illness that contribute to mortality risk when compared to individuals born at term. Emerging evidence suggests that individuals born preterm or of low birthweight also exhibit

Reappraisal of the Concept of Accelerated Aging in Neurodegeneration and Beyond

Cells, 2023
Background: Genetic and epigenetic changes, oxidative stress and inflammation influence the rate of aging, which diseases, lifestyle and environmental factors can further accelerate. In accelerated aging (AA), the biological age exceeds the chronological

Accelerated aging of forensically relevant biological materials on swabs [PDF]

BioTechniques, 2021
The preservation of DNA in biological samples is important for forensic testing, as samples can be tested years or even decades after collection. Generally, the DNA within biological evidence is stable over shorter time frames but can degrade over ...

Living in poverty is associated with accelerated biological aging [PDF]

Population Medicine, 2023
Background and Objective: Biological aging reflects a decline in the functions and integrity of the human body that is closely related to chronological aging, but it is also driven by many external factors.

Posttraumatic stress disorder, trauma, and accelerated biological aging among post-9/11 veterans [PDF]

Translational Psychiatry
People who experience trauma and develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are at increased risk for poor health. One mechanism that could explain this risk is accelerated biological aging, which is associated with the accumulation of chronic diseases,

Menopause accelerates biological aging [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016
Significance Within an evolutionary framework, aging and reproduction are intrinsically linked. Although both laboratory and epidemiological studies have observed associations between the timing of reproductive senescence and longevity, it is not yet known whether differences in the age of menopause are reflected in biomarkers of ...

Birth outcomes, puberty onset, and obesity as long-term predictors of biological aging in young adulthood

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2023
BackgroundBiological aging and particularly the deviations between biological and chronological age are better predictors of health than chronological age alone. However, the predictors of accelerated biological aging are not very well understood.

Retraction to Chronic Inflammation: Accelerator of Biological Aging [PDF]

The Journals of Gerontology: Series A, 2019
Biological aging is characterized by a chronic low-grade inflammation level. This chronic phenomenon has been named "inflamm-aging" and is a highly significant risk factor for morbidity and mortality in the older persons. The most common theories of inflamm-aging include redox stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, glycation, deregulation of the immune ...

DOES AGEISM ACCELERATE BIOLOGICAL AGING

Innovation in Aging, 2022
Abstract Defined as, “stereotype, prejudice, and discrimination directly towards people because of their age”, ageism may contribute to adverse health outcomes, accelerate aging process, and increase the burden on health and social services. Little is known about the ageism impact on biological aging.
