Here, using biospecimens and clinical data from two large and independent cohorts of older adults, we tested the hypothesis that the circulating concentrations of senescence biomarkers are influenced by body mass index (BMI). After adjusting for age, sex, and race, we observed significant increases in activin A, Fas, MDC, PAI1, PARC, TNFR1, and VEGFA, and a significant decrease in RAGE, from normal weight, to overweight, to obesity BMI categories by linear regression in both cohorts (all p < 0.05).

Its' pathogenesis is not fully understood. Therefore, identifying specific biomarkers of sarcopenia will help us understand its pathophysiology. The most frequently reported blood-derived biomarkers of sarcopenia are growth factors, neuromuscular junctions, endocrine systems, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation-mediated and redox processes, muscle protein turnover, blood metabolomics, and behavior-mediated biomarkers. Here, we address the implications of sarcopenia biomarkers based on our research experience with KFACS cohort data. It includes free testosterone, myostatin, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21), growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), procollagen type III N-terminal peptide (P3NP), creatinine-based biomarkers, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), metabolites (proline, alanine, tryptophan), and multi-biomarker risk score. We attempted to explain the paradoxical findings of myostatin and FGF-21 levels in relation to sarcopenia. GDF-15 levels were associated with sarcopenia prevalence but not its incidence. Plasma P3NP and BDNF levels may be biomarkers of muscle quality rather than quantity. Lower erythrocyte EPA and DHA levels were associated with slow gait speed, and erythrocyte EPA levels were associated with low handgrip strength. We developed a multi-biomarker risk score for sarcopenia and found that its accuracy in diagnosing sarcopenia was higher than that of any single biomarker.","PeriodicalId":22892,"journal":{"name":"The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142448062","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 tested whether sensor-derived mobility metrics and TDPA indices are independently associated with mobility disabilities. Methods This cohort study derived mobility abilities from a belt-worn sensor that recorded annual supervised gait testing. TDPA indices were obtained from a wrist-worn activity monitor. Mobility disability was determined by self-report and inability to perform an 8-feet walk task. Baseline associations of mobility metrics and TDPA (separately and together) were examined with logistic regressions and incident associations (average 7 years follow-up) with Cox models. Mediation analysis quantified the extent mobility metrics mediate the association of TDPA with mobility disability. Results 724 ambulatory older adults (mean age 82 years, 77.4% female) were studied. In separate models, mobility abilities (e.g. step time variability, turning angular velocity) and TDPA were related to mobility disabilities. Examined together in a single model, mobility abilities remained associated with mobility disabilities, while TDPA was attenuated. This attenuation of TDPA could be explained by mediation analysis that showed about 50% of TDPA associations with mobility disabilities is mediated via mobility abilities (prevalent mobility disability 54%, incident mobility disability 40%, incident loss of ambulation 50%; all p’s<0.001). Conclusions Sensor-derived mobility metrics assess more diverse facets of mobility. These metrics mediate approximately half of the association of higher levels of daily physical activity with reduced mobility disability in older adults.

Therefore, this study explored the associations between pain and fall-related outcomes in 5,340 middle-aged (45–65 years) adults residing in the communities in Korea. Pain was defined as pain at any location, pain-related activity restriction (PAR), and persistent pain. The outcome measures included fall injuries, recurrent falls, injurious falls, and fall-related hip fractures. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to examine the relationship between pain and fall outcome. Among the study participants, 54.0% reported having experienced pain. During a follow-up period of up to 14 years, those who reported pain and PAR at baseline exhibited a positive association with the occurrence of fall injury (odds ratio [OR] 1.79, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.27–2.53) and injurious falls (OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.20–2.48) but not with recurrent falls (OR 1.90, 95% CI 0.80–4.54). We also observed a positive association between persistent pain and the risk of fall injury (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.13–1.91), whereas no consistent conclusions were drawn regarding the risk of recurrent falls and injurious falls. We also did not identify any correlation between pain and hip fractures resulting from falls. In conclusion, our findings of the positive correlations of pain and PAR at baseline with fall injuries and injurious falls but not recurrent falls during follow-up suggest that public health initiatives should prioritize pain screening, especially for participants reporting ankle and toe pain, and implement suitable interventions to mitigate the risk of falls and the associated adverse outcomes among middle-aged adults.","PeriodicalId":22892,"journal":{"name":"The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142325345","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}

Frailty was evaluated over 10 years of follow-up using the frailty index (FI) and defined as FI > 0.21. Stratified Cox regressions were performed on discordant twin pairs (pairs where one twin had incident cancer and the other was cancer-free), and on all LSADT individual twins (twin pairs and singletons) with no history of cancer. Results Among the 72 discordant pairs (n=144, median age at inclusion=75) included in the study, the median FI at inclusion was 0.08 for both cancer twins and cancer-free co-twins.

These can be classified by their intensity (e.g., light or moderate-vigorous physical activity (PA)) or domain (e.g., chores, socialising). Intensity-based time-use behaviours are linked with cognitive function and cardiometabolic health in older adults, but it is unknown whether these relationships differ depending on the domain (or type/context) of behaviour. METHODS This study included 397 older adults (65.5 ± 3.0 years, 69% female, 16.0 ± 3.0 years education) from Adelaide and Newcastle, Australia. Time-use behaviours were recorded using the Multimedia Activity Recall for Children and Adults (MARCA), cognitive function was measured using the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination III (ACE-III) and Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB), and systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol and waist-hip ratio were also recorded. Two 24-hr time-use compositions were derived from each participant’s MARCA, including a four-part intensity composition (sleep, sedentary behaviour, light and moderate-vigorous PA) and an eight-part domain composition (Sleep, Self-Care, Chores, Screen Time, Quiet Time, Household Administration, Sport/Exercise, and Social). RESULTS Linear regressions found significant associations between the domain composition and both ACE-III (p=0.010) and waist-hip ratio (p=0.009), and between the intensity composition and waist-hip ratio (p=0.025). Isotemporal substitution modelling demonstrated that the domains of sedentary behaviours and PA impacted their associations with ACE-III, whilst any PA appeared beneficial for waist-hip ratio.
