TL;DR

Sensory impairment and accelerated GrimAgeAccel jointly identified older adults at elevated risk of subsequent functional decline and mortality, which support a risk-stratification framework integrating clinically accessible sensory assessment with DNAm-based biological ageing measures.

Sensory impairment and cognitive-state transitions in middle-aged and older adults: a multistate Markov analysis of the health and retirement study

Background Sensory impairment has been associated with cognitive decline and dementia. However, endpoint-based longitudinal analyses often cannot determine whether sensory impairment is related to early cognitive deterioration, reduced cognitive recovery, dementia progression, or mortality-related study exit. Methods W...

Cardiovascular health, as per life's essential 8, and unhealthy aging trajectories.

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular health (CVH) is associated with individual age-related health outcomes, but its relation to unhealthy aging trajectories remains uncertain. We assessed whether CVH is associated with the baseline burden of unhealthy aging and its progression over time, and whether these associations differ by...

Lower Epigenetic Age Acceleration in Older Adults with Preserved Global Cognitive Performance.

Preserved cognitive performance in late life, based primarily on persistent MMSE performance, is associated with a decelerated biological aging profile in community-dwelling older adults, consistent with the hypothesis that DNA methylation-derived epigenetic markers may help characterize healthy cognitive aging traject...

Behavioral and neuronal biomarkers of aging and disease: Integration with physical performance and function.

Aging is a heterogeneous process characterized by marked variability in biological, cognitive, and functional trajectories among individuals of the same chronological age. Consequently, there is greater interest in biomarkers capable of identifying early deviations from healthy aging and predicting adverse outcomes. Th...
