中文简介:
什么是老化?一个定义是多器官系统的同时降解。一个人可以用科学上有意义的方式对他们(按时间顺序)的年龄说“老”或“年轻”吗?我们使用在Twins UK研究中对12,000名女性双胞胎测量的衰老相关表型来研究这些问题。我们提出了一个简单的老化线性模型,它允许对个体的实际年龄进行潜在的调整delta,以给出他们的“生理年龄”,在所观察的表型中共享。我们注意到线性假设导致的分析问题,并展示了如何使用非线性扩展来缓解这些问题。我们发现更多基因表达探针与我们对生理年龄的测量显着相关,而不是与实际年龄相关。
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.
