概括
更高的饮食质量与绝经后妇女的生物衰老速度减缓有关. 改善的饮食分数与减少的表观遗传衰老相关,特别是DunedinPACE,这表明饮食影响衰老生物学.
科学领域:
- 老年学和营养科学研究
- 表观遗传学和分子生物学
背景情况:
- 饮食质量与降低慢性疾病风险和死亡率有关.
- 饮食质量与生物衰老,特别是表观遗传衰老之间的关系尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 调查饮食质量与表观遗传衰老措施之间的关联.
- 为了确定是否坚持健康的饮食模式影响生物衰老标志物.
主要方法:
- 对4500名绝经后妇女 (50-79岁) 的横截面分析.
- 评估饮食质量,使用来自食物频率问卷的三个分数 (健康饮食指数,DASH,地中海替代) 来评估饮食质量.
- 使用DNA甲基化数据测量了五种表观遗传衰老标志物 (例如,AgeAccelGrim,DunedinPACE).
主要成果:
- 这三种饮食质量得分都与表观遗传衰老指标AgeAccelPheno,AgeAccelGrim和DunedinPACE相反相关.
- 较高的饮食质量评分显示与DunedinPACE有显著的反向关联,表明生物衰老速度较慢.
- 饮食质量得分增加1个SD相当于所有评估的饮食模式中的DunedinPACEz-score显著下降.
结论:
- 饮食质量与基因甲基化基因对绝经后妇女生物衰老的测量相反相关.
- 饮食模式与表观遗传衰老有显著的相关性,而DunedinPACE对饮食质量特别敏感.
- 研究结果表明,改善饮食质量可能是影响生物衰老过程的策略.

Epigenetic Regulation
3.0K
Epigenetic changes alter the physical structure of the DNA without changing the genetic sequence and often regulate whether genes are turned on or off. This regulation ensures that each cell produces only proteins necessary for its function. For example, proteins that promote bone growth are not produced in muscle cells. Epigenetic mechanisms play an essential role in healthy development. Conversely, precisely regulated epigenetic mechanisms are disrupted in diseases like cancer.

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.
