Chronological age is a common and non-modifiable factor for chronic disease, but does not fully explain age-related changes. Biological clocks have been developed to explore biological aging mechanisms. They could help identify protective factors against accelerated aging and associated diseases. We aim to assess the association between reduced epigenetic or inflammatory aging and ideal cardiovascular health or cardiovascular...

HealthAge was devised by a conglomerate of research groups in Toulouse, France, with the combined goal of narrowing the lifespan-healthspan gap through novel translational bench-to-bedside research studies. HealthAge comprises the “INStitute for Prevention” “healthy aging” and “medicine Rejuvenative” (INSPIRE) human translational, outbred SWISS mice and African turquoise killifish (GRZ strain) cohorts in which aging is studied...

Appetite loss is a common clinical condition in older adulthood, but how this condition associates with biological aging remains unknown. The present study aims to examine the associations of biological aging markers with appetite loss in community-dwelling people aged 21 to 102 years. This retrospective case–control study used baseline data from the INSPIRE-T cohort in Toulouse, France. Each of the 49 cases with appetite loss...
