Adopted incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), sociodemographic index (SDI) and corresponding Estimated Annual Percentage Changes (EAPCs) to assess the burden of NPC in middle-aged and elderly patients.

However, the EAPCs values and upper limits in incidence, mortality and DALY rates were all less than 0, indicating a decreasing trend of incidence, mortality and disease burden. Both incidence and mortality rates were decreasing in high-incidence territories. Most regions were negatively correlated with the sociodemographic index. Males had obviously higher incidence and mortality of NPC in middle-aged and elderly patients than females. The highest incidences of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in middle-aged and elderly males were in the 65-69 age group, and the incidences in females did not change much among different age groups.

One of the hallmarks of MSDs is DNA damage. Once accumulated in the cytoplasm, the damaged DNA is sensed by the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway, which triggers the induction of type I interferons and inflammatory cytokines. Thus, this pathway connects the musculoskeletal and immune systems. Inhibitors of cGAS or STING have shown promising therapeutic effects in the pre-clinical models of several MSDs. Systemic, chronic, low-grade inflammation (SCLGI) underlies the development and maintenance of many MSDs. Failure to resolve SCLGI has been hypothesized to play a critical role in the development of chronic diseases, suggesting that the successful resolution of SCLGI will result in the alleviation of their related symptomatology. The process of inflammation resolution is feasible by specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), which are enzymatically generated from dietary essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). The supplementation of SPMs or their stable, small-molecule mimetics and receptor agonists has revealed beneficial effects in inflammation-related animal models, including arthropathies, osteoporosis, and muscle dystrophy, suggesting a translational potential in MSDs. In this review, we substantiate the hypothesis that the use of cGAS-STING signaling pathway inhibitors together with SCLG-resolving compounds may serve as a promising new therapeutic approach for MSDs.</p>","PeriodicalId":93862,"journal":{"name":"Ageing research reviews","volume":" ","pages":"102602"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142755960","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}

Sporadic AD usually affects older adults over the age of 65 years and is, therefore classified as late-onset AD (LOAD). Several risk factors associated with LOAD including the APOE gene have been identified. Moreover, GWAS studies have identified a wide array of genes and polymorphisms that are associated with LOAD risk. Currently, the diagnosis of AD involves the evaluation of memory and personality changes, cognitive impairment, and medical and family history to rule out other diseases. Laboratory tests to assess the biomarkers in the body fluids as well as MRI, CT, and PET scans to analyze the presence of plaques and NFTs are also included in the diagnosis of AD. It is important to diagnose AD before the onset of clinical symptoms, i.e. during the preclinical stage, to delay the progression and for better management of the disease. Research has been conducted to identify biomarkers of AD in the CSF, serum, saliva, and urine during the preclinical stage. Current research has identified several biomarkers and potential biomarkers in the body fluids that enhance diagnostic accuracy. Aside from genetics, other factors such as diet, physical activity, and lifestyle factors may influence the risk of developing AD.
