{"title":"Ethnic and Sex Differences in the Association Between Organochlorine Exposure and Cognitive Function in Late Life","authors":"Marianne Chanti-Ketterl, María P Aranda, Brenda L Plassman","doi":"10.1093/gerona/glaf037","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/gerona/glaf037","url":null,"abstract":"Background Organochlorine pesticides persist in the environment and body for extended periods. However, little is known about their long-term impact on cognition in older adults and if their influence differs by race/ethnicity (hereinafter ethnicity) and sex. Methods We evaluated cognitive function and organochlorine levels by ethnicity and sex in 979 adults, age 60+ from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (2011-2014). We utilized weighted linear generalized estimating equations to measure differences between seven log-transformed lipid-adjusted organochlorines (ng/g) and cognitive function. A composite cognitive function score was created using the mean of the z-scores from immediate and delayed of a word-list memory test, verbal fluency, and digit substitution test. Covariates included age, education, marital status, sex, and ethnicity. Exploratory sensitivity analyses included BMI, Ratio of Income-to-Poverty (IPR), and occupation, which were added to the models individually. Weighted sample included: 55.4% females; 79.8% NH-White; 9.2% NH-Black; 3.4% Mexican-American; 4.0% Other-Hispanic; 3.5% NH-Asian. Results We found significant differences in cognitive outcomes and organochlorine levels across ethnic and sex groups. The variability in cognitive performance and organochlorine exposure both within and between these groups, suggests that organochlorines may play a role in cognitive disparities, despite limited significant interaction effects. Sensitivity analyses adjusting for BMI, IPR, and longest occupation held indicated that most specific-organochlorine associations remained significant. Conclusion Our findings emphasize the importance of examining both the distributions of organochlorines and cognition by ethnicity and sex and their interactions to understand how each may contribute to cognitive health disparities in older adults.","PeriodicalId":22892,"journal":{"name":"The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143661375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined associations between cognitive scores across three domains in older adults and 8-10 years of exposure to air pollutants (NO2, total PM2.5, and PM2.5 from different emission sources). Methods We used data from the 2018 Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol sub-study of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (N=1,127). Outdoor concentrations of each pollutant were estimated for 2008/10-2017 and summarised using means and group-based trajectories. Linear regression models were used to assess long-term air pollution exposure relationships with memory, executive function, language, and global cognitive function after adjustment for key individual and neighbourhood-level confounders. Results Associations between air pollution trajectories and cognition are mostly inverted j-shaped, with respondents exposed to the highest residential levels of NO2 and total PM2.5 having worse performance for global cognition [β=-0.241; 95%CI=(-0.46,-0.02) and β=-0.334; 95%CI=(-0.55,-0.12) respectively] than those exposed to average levels of pollution. Similar associations were also found for executive function and memory (PM2.5 only), whereas more compelling dose-response evidence was found for language. Higher emissions from industry and residential combustion, as well as biofuel, coal, oil and natural gas combustion, were associated with worse language scores. Conclusions Air pollution and its sources have domain-specific associations with cognitive performance, with most consistent evidence observed for language. Continued efforts to reduce air pollution, particularly where levels are the highest, might benefit cognitive performance.","PeriodicalId":22892,"journal":{"name":"The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences","volume":"183 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143641052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine links between epigenetic age, based on currently widely used indicators and key health outcomes in the Republic of Ireland, the United States, and Northern Ireland with harmonized, nationally representative data on their populations age 50 and older. Methods Data from 6,336 participants from the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), the Health and Retirement Study of the United States (HRS) and the Northern Ireland COhort for the Longitudinal study of Ageing (NICOLA) are used to investigate the association of accelerated epigenetic age based on three clocks (PhenoAge, GrimAge and DunedinPACE) with four health outcomes (mobility, grip strength, cognitive functioning, and mortality). Importantly, survey questions, population characteristics, and analysis pipelines are harmonized, and similar metrics are used for each health outcome. Results The three countries are remarkably similar in interrelationships among the clocks and in how the clocks relate to health outcomes across the three countries. These second- and third-generation clocks are significantly related to mortality, cognitive loss, strength, and mobility in the three countries.

Achieving this aim relies on determining mechanisms underlying capacity to respond resiliently. This paper seeks proof of principle for the hypothesis that physical aspects of said capacity are rooted in the fitness of one’s physiology governing stress response, conceptualized as a dynamical system. The Study of Physical Resilience in Aging (“SPRING”) leveraged stimulus-response experiments to characterize physiological fitness in older adults scheduled for one of three major stressors: Total knee replacement, incident hemodialysis, or bone marrow transplant in hematological cancer. Here we analyze Holter monitor time series characterizing heart rate variability (HRV), cortisol responses to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation, and repeated diurnal salivary cortisol assessment in the SPRING pilot (n=79). Principal component analysis was applied anticipating steady-state and “adaptation” mechanisms underlying the repeated physiological measures. Analytic features evidenced these mechanisms, supporting construct validity. Component scores were analyzed by major stressor, hypothesized surrogate physiologic measures (physical frailty phenotype, self-report of health), and demographic, health and behavioral characteristics. Scores differed substantially by stressor type and the surrogate physiologic measures, evidencing criterion validity. Our data support that HRV, ACTH and salivary cortisol stimulus-response data jointly assess adaptation capacity across three major stressors. We believe that SPRING is the first study in humans to concurrently query multiple physiologic systems using stimulus-response tests. Our findings lay groundwork for future validation with further data and to better forecast resilience of older adults to clinical stressors.","PeriodicalId":22892,"journal":{"name":"The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143631476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hypertension often stems from resistance arteries endothelial dysfunction. Recent research highlights the pivotal role of perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) in regulating endothelial function. We hypothesized that PVAT senescence contributes to vascular dysfunction and hypertension during aging. We showed that naturally aged mice developed hypertension and elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines levels. Moreover, resistance mesenteric arteries showed impaired vascular relaxation that was normalized by apocynin, an antioxidant. The vascular dysfunction was endothelium- and PVAT-dependent, and marked by: decreased NO- and COX-dependent vascular relaxation, decreased expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and increased cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and NADPH oxidase subunits p22phox and gp91phox expressions in the endothelium and PVAT. Additionally, we observed that PVAT shows greater signs of senescence, particularly with higher p16 expression, indicating that PVAT is more prone to age-related cellular aging. Our findings suggest that in resistance mesenteric arteries PVAT-derived factors are crucial for triggering and amplifying vascular dysfunction in aging, leading to hypertension. The underlying mechanisms involve downregulation of eNOS-derived NO, NADPH-oxidase-dependent oxidative stress, and COX-2-derived vascular contractile factors. This research improves our understanding of the mechanisms behind age-related vascular dysfunction and associated hypertension and opens perspectives for targeted therapeutic strategies.","PeriodicalId":22892,"journal":{"name":"The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143546486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Physical activity (PA) can mitigate their decline. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of age and habitual PA level on Pmax and VO2max. Thirty-nine young men (YM, 22.1 ± 3.4 years), 34 old men (OM, 71.7 ± 4.1 years) and 23 very old men (VOM, 85.8 ± 2.7 years) performed an incremental test to determine VO2max and a force-velocity profile to assess Pmax, maximal force (F0) and maximal velocity (V0). The threshold of 10,000 steps per day (SPD) was used to dichotomize participants into high-PA and low-PA groups. Compared to YM, Pmax decreased by 40% and 64% in OM and VOM, respectively, while VO2max decreased by 29% and 51% (all p<0.001). Compared to YM, F0 declined by 29% and 52% in OM and VOM, respectively, while V0 decreased by 17% and 28% (all p<0.01). VO2max, but not Pmax, was greater in high-PA vs. low-PA. In VOM, SPD was related to VO2max (r=0.79; p<0.001) and F0 (r=0.51; p<0.05), and VO2max was positively correlated with F0 (r=0.72; p<0.01). The decline in Pmax, mainly mediated by the loss of force, was greater than the decrease in VO2max. Whereas PA was associated with higher level of VO2max, it does not appear to have an effect on Pmax. The relationships between SPD, VO2max and F0 suggest that above 80 years, a greater strength allows to achieve a greater amount of SPD, ultimately improving VO2max.","PeriodicalId":22892,"journal":{"name":"The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143546483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
