衰老措施和癌症:来自健康和退休研究的发现
medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences
|October 4, 2023
概括
癌症幸存者表现出加速的生物衰老,增加他们的死亡风险. 表观遗传钟,特别是GrimAge,是癌症幸存者死亡率的强有力的预测指标,突出了治疗后明显的衰老模式.
科学领域:
- 老年学和老年医学是老年学和老年医学.
- 癌症生存率研究 癌症生存率研究
- 衰老的生物标志物
背景情况:
- 与没有癌症的个人相比,癌症幸存者经常经历加速的生理功能障碍,称为生物年龄 (BA).
- 这种增加的BA可能导致癌症幸存者的发病率和死亡率更高.
- 了解各种衰老指标如何与幸存者的健康结果有关,对于个性化护理至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 调查多个生物年龄 (BA) 度量与癌症患病率之间的关联.
- 检查BA指标与癌症幸存者和对照者的全因死亡率之间的关系.
- 为了比较不同衰老结构对癌症幸存者的死亡率与无癌症个体的预测能力.
主要方法:
- 利用了来自健康和退休研究 (HRS) 的数据,这是一个基于人口的大型队列.
- 使用八个指标估计生物年龄:克莱梅拉杜巴尔方法 (KDM-BA),表型年龄 (PhenoAge),五个表观遗传钟 (ECs) 和主观年龄 (SA).
- 使用加权后勤和Cox比例危险回归来分析与癌症患病率和全因死亡率的关联,计算年龄加速.
主要成果:
- 与对照组相比,癌症幸存者在大多数衰老指标中表现出更高的年龄加速.
- 五个衰老结构 (汉努姆,霍瓦斯,莱文,格林年龄和SA的年龄加速) 与癌症患病率有关.
- 对于PhenoAge和四个EC (Hannum,Horvath,Levine,GrimAge) 的年龄加速预测了癌症幸存者的所有原因死亡率较高;GrimAge加速显示了最高的危险比率 (2.03).
- 芬诺年龄,汉纳姆和格林年龄也预测了对照组的死亡率,而KDM-BA和老化步伐 (POA) 预测了对照组的死亡率,但不是幸存者.
- 当所有指标一起建模时,Levine和GrimAge仍然是幸存者的死亡率的重要预测指标.
- 没有任何衰老结构与癌症发病率有关.
结论:
- 衰老结构捕捉了衰老的不同方面,癌症幸存者表现出与年龄有关的独特生理功能障碍.
- 特定的表观遗传时钟,特别是GrimAge,是癌症幸存者死亡率的重要预测因素.
- 需要进一步的研究来探索这些衰老指标对特定癌症类型和死亡率的预测价值.

Longitudinal Research
12.0K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Cancer Survival Analysis
380
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Actuarial Approach
96
The actuarial approach, a statistical method originally developed for life insurance risk assessment, is widely used to calculate survival rates in clinical and population studies. This method accounts for participants lost to follow-up or those who die from causes unrelated to the study, ensuring a more accurate representation of survival probabilities.
Consider the example of a high-risk surgical procedure with significant early-stage mortality. A two-year clinical study is conducted,...

Cancer Prevention
6.2K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Statistical Methods for Analyzing Epidemiological Data
400
Epidemiological data primarily involves information on specific populations' occurrence, distribution, and determinants of health and diseases. This data is crucial for understanding disease patterns and impacts, aiding public health decision-making and disease prevention strategies. The analysis of epidemiological data employs various statistical methods to interpret health-related data effectively. Here are some commonly used methods:

Comparing the Survival Analysis of Two or More Groups
218
Survival analysis is a cornerstone of medical research, used to evaluate the time until an event of interest occurs, such as death, disease recurrence, or recovery. Unlike standard statistical methods, survival analysis is particularly adept at handling censored data—instances where the event has not occurred for some participants by the end of the study or remains unobserved. To address these unique challenges, specialized techniques like the Kaplan-Meier estimator, log-rank test, and...
