This study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2001–2010) to explore this association. Biological age was assessed using Klemera-Doubal method age (KDMAge) and phenotypic age (PhenoAge). PCa was identified through self-reported diagnoses, and highly probable PCa was determined by PSA levels. We analyzed the prevalence of PCa and PSA-defined highly probable PCa across quartiles of biological age measures using weighted chi-square and linear trend tests. Associations were evaluated using weighted multiple logistic regression models. Among 7,209 and 6,682 males analyzed, the overall weighted prevalence of PCa was 2.86%, increasing to 9.60% in those aged 65 and above. A significant rise in PCa prevalence was observed with higher quartiles of KDMAge or PhenoAge (P for trend &lt; 0.001), particularly in those under 65. In this younger group, higher PhenoAge acceleration quartiles were linked to increased PCa prevalence and higher risk of PCa (OR = 1.50, P = 0.015) as well as highly probable PCa in those without a diagnosis (OR = 1.28, P = 0.031). These findings suggest that accelerated biological aging is associated with an increased risk of PCa and may indicate early risk as signaled by PSA levels, even in those without a PCa diagnosis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7720,"journal":{"name":"Aging Clinical and Experimental Research","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11502538/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142493055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The potential role of metabolism among them was analyzed using mediation models.</p><h3>Results</h3><p>A total of 779 individuals from northern China were included in this cross-sectional analysis. Five main nutrient patterns were identified. Adjusted linear regression showed that the “high sodium” pattern was inversely associated with LTL (<i>B</i>=-0.481(-0.549, -0.413), <i>P</i> &lt; 0.05). The “high vitamin E-fat” pattern exhibited a positive correlation (<i>B</i> = 0.099(0.029, 0.170), <i>P</i> &lt; 0.05), whereas the “high vitamin A-vitamin B2” pattern was negatively correlated with LTL (<i>B</i>=-0.120(-0.183, -0.057), <i>P</i> &lt; 0.05), respectively. No significant associations were observed for the remaining nutrient patterns. The mediation model demonstrated that diastolic blood pressure and waist circumference could individually and collectively mediate the negative impact of the “high sodium” pattern on LTL (<i>B</i>_DBP=-0.0173(-0.0333, -0.0041), <i>B</i>_WC=-0.0075(-0.0186, -0.0004), <i>B</i>_joint=-0.0033 (-0.0072, -0.0006), all <i>P</i> &lt; 0.05). Moreover, glycosylated hemoglobin and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol mediate the relationship between the “high vitamin E-fat” pattern and LTL (<i>B</i>_HbA1c=0.0170(0.0010,0.0347), <i>B</i>_non-HDL-C= 0.0335 (0.0067, 0.0626), all <i>P</i> &lt; 0.05), respectively.</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>The “high sodium” and “high vitamin E-fat” nutrient patterns demonstrated negative and positive associations with LTL and metabolic indicators may play complex mediating roles in these relationships.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7720,"journal":{"name":"Aging Clinical and Experimental Research","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11455806/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142379022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
