Association between sleep quality and arterial blood pressure among Chinese nonagenarians/centenarians [PDF]
There is association between sleep quality and arterial blood pressure, but it is still unclear if the association also exists in the very elderly. We examined the individual association between sleep quality and arterial blood pressure among the very elderly.The present study analyzed data from a survey that was conducted on all residents aged 90 ...

Staging concept for aging management: Definition, mechanism, and coping strategies
We divided the overall aging stage into “pre‐aging”, “aging compensation”, and “aging disability”. For each stage, we delineate the clinical presentations, biological phenomena, theoretical underpinnings, and key management priorities. Abstract Aging, as a gradual and largely irreversible biological process, characterized by declining organismal ...

AKT1 fails to replicate as a longevity-associated gene in Danish and German nonagenarians and centenarians [PDF]
In addition to APOE and FOXO3, AKT1 has recently been suggested as a third consistent longevity gene, with variants in AKT1 found to be associated with human lifespan in two previous studies.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Aging is the strongest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) characterized by amyloid‐β (Aβ) plaques and tau tangles in the brain. We aim to compare biological aging‐related biomarkers among AD, non‐neurodegenerative control (NDC) and non‐AD neurodegenerative (Non‐AD) individuals to evaluate their clinical utility.

Remodelling of biological parameters during human ageing: evidence for complex regulation in longevity and in type 2 diabetes. [PDF]
Factor structure analyses have revealed the presence of specific biological system markers in healthy humans and diseases. However, this type of approach in very old persons and in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is lacking.
