Abstract
Aim: Longevity accumulating in families has genetic and epigenetic components. To study early and unbiased epigenetic predictors of longevity prospectively, a birth cohort would be ideal. However, the original family longevity selection score (FLoSS) focuses on populations of elderly only.Methods: In the German birth cohort KUNO-Kids we assessed when information for such scores may be best collected and how to calculate an adapted FLoSS.Results: A total of 551 families contributed to adapted FLoSS, with a mean score of -0.15 (SD 2.33). Adapted FLoSS ≥7 as a marker of exceptional longevity occurred in 3.3% of families, comparable to original FLoSS in elderly.Conclusion: An adapted FLoSS from data collectable postnatally may be a feasible tool to study unbiased epigenetic predictors for longevity.
期刊介绍：
Epigenomics provides the forum to address the rapidly progressing research developments in this ever-expanding field; to report on the major challenges ahead and critical advances that are propelling the science forward. The journal delivers this information in concise, at-a-glance article formats – invaluable to a time constrained community.
Substantial developments in our current knowledge and understanding of genomics and epigenetics are constantly being made, yet this field is still in its infancy. Epigenomics provides a critical overview of the latest and most significant advances as they unfold and explores their potential application in the clinical setting.
