Meanings of biological aging in English

An accelerated rate of biological aging could contribute to this increased risk.

Problem: Epigenetic age indices are markers of biological aging determined from DNA methylation patterns.

A widely used marker of biological aging is telomere length.

This study assessed the contribution of genetic and nongenetic factors to biological aging in American Caucasians.

As the biological aging process demonstrates gender-specific characteristics, the analyses were performed separately in males and female.

These interventions may, however, work through different pathophysiological mechanisms and could differ in their impact on biological aging and somatic health.

Objective: Psychological factors such as the stress of caregiving are emerging as predictors of telomere length, an index of biological aging.

A common mechanism underlying premature declines in health may be accelerated biological aging, as reflected by leukocyte telomere length (LTL).

Background: Depressive and anxiety disorders have shown to be associated to premature or advanced biological aging and consequently to adversely impact somatic health.

During the course of biological aging, there is a gradual accumulation of damaged proteins and a concomitant functional decline in the protein degradation system.

Depression and depressive symptoms are associated with a range of morbidities and mortality, but the extent to which they predict biological aging is unclear.

It has been hypothesized that one way in which lower socioeconomic status (SES) affects health is by increasing the rate of biological aging.

Thus, CR reduces the platelet-derived growth factor-associated signaling cascade, contributing to the postponement of biological aging and preservation of a more youthful aortic wall phenotype.

Accordingly, we sought to develop a metabolomic signature of biological aging that could predict changes in physiological function with the convenience of a blood sample.

This study assessed the association between abuse exposure and shortening of telomere length (TL), a promising molecular marker for biological aging, in older victims.

Biological aging is associated with physiological deteriorations, which are partly due to changes in the hormonal profile.
