Much progress has been made in the past decades in unraveling the mechanisms that are
responsible for aging. The discovery that particular gene mutations in experimental species …

Leading biologists and clinicians interested in aging convened to discuss biomarkers of
aging. The goals were to come to a consensus, construct an agenda for future research, and …

The concept of biomarkers of aging and age-related disease dates to the early 1980s as
scientists engaged in aging research worked to clearly define aging and separate processes …

Many candidate biomarkers of human ageing have been proposed in the scientific literature
but in all cases their variability in cross-sectional studies is considerable, and therefore no …

The risk of developing chronic illnesses and disabilities is increasing with age. To predict
and prevent aging, biomarkers relevant to the aging process must be identified. This paper …

The field of molecular epidemiology of aging involves the application of molecular methods
to measure aging processes and their genetic determinants in human cohorts. Over the last …

Biomarkers are increasingly employed in empirical studies of human populations to
understand physiological processes that change with age, diseases whose onset appears …

Biomarkers of aging would be highly desirable, but so far, a definitive panel of biomarkers to
predict mortality risk has not been obtained, even though many traits that vary with age have …

Given the unprecedented phenomenon of population ageing, studies have increasing
captured the heterogeneity within the ageing process. In this context, the concept of …

The identification of specific biomarkers of aging would be an important milestone in
gerontologic research. In this communication, the goals of identifying biomarkers of aging …
