surrogate markers can function as proxies to evaluate the impact of interventions on health or lifespan43. Biological age estimates have been developed to approximate the level of aging and subsequent morbidity and mortality risk for an individual. Estimates based on clinical chemistry...
Blood levels of two markers may help determine the heart health of individuals with skin-related conditions Wiley Credit: CC0 Public Domain People with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, collectively known as psoriatic disease, are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease than others in the genera...
To demonstrate the universality of of the organism state dynamics, we followed the fluctuation properties of the Phenoage, another log-linear mortality predictor trained using the explicit age, sex and a number of biochemical blood markers29. By its nature, PhenoAge is another DOSI produced from...
Reliable prognostic markers for the progression of heart failure in older adults: Is ambulatory blood pressure monitoring one of them?A. CocaRevista Clínica Espaola (English Edition)
The significance of blood types goes far beyond ensuring safe blood transfusions. These biological markers, determined by the presence or absence of antigens on red blood cells, have been found to correlate with certain health conditions and, according to some cultural beliefs, even personality trai...
Prof James Timmons, an expert in age-related health and diseases at Queen Mary University of London, has also been studying blood markers of biological age. His work focuses on detectable gene changes, rather than proteins. He said the latest findings by Dr Wyss-Coray were impressive, but nee...
Tumour markers are substances found in abnormal quantity, usually when there is the presence of a type of tumor or cancer in the body. Though a high amount of any of these chemicals is likely to indicate the presence of a tumour, they generally tend to have low level of accuracy in ...
Chronic heart failure (HF) is associated with activation of blood coagulation but there is a lack of prospective studies on the association between coagulation markers and incident HF in general populations. We have examined the association between the coagulation markers fibrinogen, von Willebrand Facto...
A new study being presented at this year's European Congress on Obesity (ECO) in Maastricht, the Netherlands, and published simultaneously in Obesity Research & Clinical Practice, has revealed that changes in blood fats and other markers of heart health
The associations between blood pressure and cannabis use remain inconsistent. The purpose of our study was to examine gender stratified associations of cannabis use and blood pressure [systolic, diastolic blood pressure (BP), pulse pressure (PP)] levels
