Here, we investigated the genetics of weighted functional brain network graph theory measures from 18,445 participants of the UK Biobank (44–80 years). The eighteen measures studied showed low heritability (mean h2 SNP = 0.12) and were highly genetically

Healthy Aging as Disease? [PDF]
In the scientific and popular literature recently there has been a widespread call for classifying normal aging as a disease, a condition that can be “manipulated, treated, and delayed” (Gems, 2010; Kelland, 2010). The main argument given by supporters of this suggestion is that grant-awarding bodies would be more likely to fund research into how, when,

Housing Poverty and Healthy Aging in China: Evidence from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study [PDF]
Background: Although prior research on the housing–health linkage suggested that those with poor housing conditions are more likely to report poor health, it is dominated by Western studies and offers little evidence on the housing–health relation in ...

Skeletal endocrinology: where evolutionary advantage meets disease
The regulation of whole-body homeostasis by the skeleton is mediated by its capacity to secrete endocrine signaling molecules. Although bone-derived hormones confer several adaptive benefits, their physiological functions also involve trade-offs, thus ...

The link between obesity and low bone strength has become a significant medical concern. The canonical Wnt signaling pathway is a key regulator of mesenchymal stem cell differentiation into either osteoblasts or adipocytes with active Wnt signaling ...

Protein and healthy aging [PDF]
Our understanding of the potential benefits and challenges of optimizing dietary protein intake in older adults continues to evolve. An overarching hypothesis generated during Protein Summit 2.0 was that consuming an adequate amount of high-quality protein at each meal, in combination with physical activity, may delay the onset of sarcopenia, slow its ...

The time course of selected outcome measures in healthy women aged 65-74 years when varying exercise frequency and duration of an exercise walking programme [PDF]
Background: We aimed to determine the time course of resting and exercise heart rates (HR); blood pressure (BP), changes in peak VO2, time to exhaustion (TTE) and gas exchange threshold (Tge) at a constant weekly exercise time [120 mins] with ...

Healthy ageing: ageing safely [PDF]
The population of the developed world is steadily ageing. In the European Union, approximately 22% of persons are over 60 years of age and this is projected to increase to more than 27% by the year 2020. This has major implications for health care resources and the productive workforce. Ageing is accompanied by a decline in the physiological reserve of

Psychological Wellbeing and Healthy Aging: Focus on Telomeres [PDF]
Stress and depression are known to modulate the aging process, and might also affect telomere biology. In fact, exposure to some biochemical pathways involved in stress-related depression may contribute to an ‘‘accelerated aging„ ...
