BMI, male sex, smoking, depression and metabolic syndrome contribute to biological aging
A biological age score predicts that being male, overweight, a smoker and having depression all contribute to biological aging, a study published today in
eLife reports.
Aging can be measured in different ways. While chronological age is measured by date of birth, scientists have developed a range of measurements to determine our biological age. These include measuring the length of telomeres (little caps on the end of our chromosomes that shorten as we grow older), chemical changes to our DNA (epigenetics), and changes to the proteins and metabolites in our bodies (proteomic and metabolomic measures).

Aging can be measured in different ways. While chronological age is measured by date of birth, scientists have developed a range of measurements to determine our biological age.
These include measuring the length of telomeres (little caps on the end of our chromosomes that shorten as we grow older), chemical changes to our DNA (epigenetics), and changes to the proteins and metabolites in our bodies (proteomic and metabolomic measures).
Although studies have linked these individual measurements to physical and mental health, it is not known whether they influence each other - or whether they have a cumulative effect on our overall well being as we age.

What is neuroscience? Neuroscience is the scientific study of nervous systems. Neuroscience can involve research from many branches of science including those involving neurology, brain science, neurobiology, psychology, computer science, artificial intelligence, statistics, prosthetics, neuroimaging, engineering, medicine, physics, mathematics, pharmacology, electrophysiology, biology, robotics and technology. – What is neurology? – Definition of neurology: a science involved in the study of the nervous systems, especially of the diseases and disorders affecting them. – Neurology research can include information involving brain research, neurological disorders, medicine, brain cancer, peripheral nervous systems, central nervous systems, nerve damage, brain tumors, seizures, neurosurgery, electrophysiology, BMI, brain injuries, paralysis and spinal cord treatments.

you weatherizing gas prices would change. brenda buttner is back with some of your responses. what are folks saying out there, brenda? we got a lot of responses. lots of fuel from viewers on the subject of gas prices. scarlet williams says i m actually looking at the receipt and holy cow, supreme unleaded $4.09 near san francisco airport. wow. save sara adams campbell admitted it s time to cut elsewhere. we he ended up going down to bare necessities to pay for the big gas weeks just to get through them. in kansas 19 miles one way to anything i can make a trip and try to do everything that day if i can. 3.22 is the price per gallon. rick jansen reports diesel fuel is 3.66 in north dakota. we will continue to spend the usual amount on other things but cut down on driving. gas pains hitting hard already.
