Biological Age Predictors

Biological Age Predictors

The search for reliable indicators of biological age, rather than chronological age, has been ongoing for over three decades, and until recently, largely without success. Advances in the fields of molecular biology have increased the variety of potential candidate biomarkers that may be considered as biological age predictors. In this review, we summarize current state-of-the-art findings consi...

Predictors of the discrepancy between calendar and biological age.

BACKGROUND The rate of ageing can differ considerably between individuals. This might result in major differences between calendar age (CA) and biological age (BA). AIMS To identify work- and health-related predictors of the discrepancy between CA and BA. METHODS The sample analysed in this study consisted of 371 subjects of different occupational groups (teachers, office workers, nursery s...

Immune function parameters as markers of biological age and predictors of longevity

Chronological age is not a good indicator of how each individual ages and thus how to maintain good health. Due to the long lifespan in humans and the consequent difficulty of carrying out longitudinal studies, finding valid biomarkers of the biological age has been a challenge both for research and clinical studies. The aim was to identify and validate several immune cell function parameters a...

Age of Biological Markers

Way back in 1898 Freud, the propounder of psychoanalysis and enunciator of psychological concepts of mental illnesses wrote to his friend Fliess—"I have no desire at all to leave the psychology hanging in the air with no organic basis but beyond the feeling of conviction (that there must be such a basis), I have nothing either theoretical or therapeutic to work on and so I must behave as if con...
