Chromosomes during methylation. Biomarkers of aging are biomarkers that could predict functional capacity at some later age better than chronological age. [1] Stated another way, biomarkers of aging would give the true "biological age", which may be different from the chronological age.
Inflammaging is thought to be caused by a loss of control over systemic inflammation resulting in chronic overstimulation of the innate immune system. Inflammaging is a significant risk factor in mortality and morbidity in aged individuals. [2] [3] [4] Inflammation is essential to protect against viral and bacterial infection, as well as ...

An epigenetic clock analysis of human DNA from HIV+ subjects and controls detected a significant age acceleration effect in brain (7.4 years) and blood (5.2 years) tissue due to HIV-1 infection. [57] These results are consistent with an independent study that also found an age advancement of 5 years in blood of HIV patients and a strong effect ...
One’s biological age, which measures the body’s physiological state, may help predict who is at risk for developing colon polyps, a known risk factor for colorectal cancer.
Rates of colorectal cancer diagnosed in people between ages 25 and 49 rose over the past 10 years in 27 out of 50 countries that American Cancer Society researchers gathered data on.
No amount of alcohol is good for the human body, previous research has shown — and now a new study has linked it to a rising number of deaths.. Over the course of two decades — from 1999 to ...
According to a 2008 study, the incidence of discitis in the United States is around 0.4 to 2.4 per 100,000 people each year depending on age group. [5] According to a later 2016 study, the combined prevalence of discitis and vertebral osteomyelitis with or without spinal epidural abscess for persons under 20 years old is uncommon (0.3 per 100,000 persons), and higher in older patients (6.5 per ...
