中文简介:
什么是衰老?一个定义是多器官系统同时退化。一个人是否可以用一种科学上有意义的方式称之为“老年人”或“年轻人”?我们使用在英国双胞胎研究中测量的12000对女性双胞胎的老化相关表型来研究这些问题。我们提出了一个简单的线性衰老模型,它允许对个体的时间年龄进行潜在的调整δ,从而得出他们的“生理年龄”,在观察到的表型中共享。我们注意到线性假设导致的分析问题,并说明如何使用非线性扩展来缓解这些问题。我们发现更多的基因表达探针与我们测量的生理年龄显著相关,而不是时间年龄。
课程简介: What is ageing? One definition is simultaneous degradation of multiple organ systems. Can an individual be said to be “old” or “young” for their (chronological) age in a scientifically meaningful way? We investigate these questions using ageing related phenotypes measured on the 12,000 female twins in the Twins UK study. We propose a simple linear model of ageing, which allows a latent adjustment delta to be made to an individual’s chronological age to give their “physiological age”, shared across the observed phenotypes. We note problems with the analysis resulting from the linearity assumption and show how to alleviate these issues using a non-linear extension. We find more gene expression probes are significantly associated with our measurement of physiological age than to chronological age.
