Sentence examples for predictor of lifespan from inspiring English sources

These associations may be in line with the observation that small body weight in early life is a significant predictor of lifespan with a strong inverse correlation between growth retardation early in life and longevity in a genetically heterogeneous mouse population [31].

Telomere length measured towards the end of the growth period (i.e. at 25 days) was the strongest predictor of lifespan.

In this regard, a recent publication described that telomere length early in life is a strong predictor of lifespan in zebra finches [ 18].

While we observed that mitochondria undergo fragmentation and loss of volume with age, our results show that these mitochondrial changes cannot be used as a predictor of lifespan.

In WT as well as in TG mice, body fat at 24 weeks of age was a better predictor of lifespan than maximum body fat, which was still the case when both genotypes were combined.

A very recent study has shown that the rate of increase in the percentage of short telomeres, rather than the rate of telomere shortening per month, was a significant predictor of lifespan in both wild-type and telomerase-deficient mice, and those individuals who showed a higher rate of increase in the percentage of short telomeres were also the ones with a shorter lifespan (Vera et al., 2012).

Our data suggests that these parameters are not predictors of lifespan in C. elegans.

Interestingly, maximum body fat levels were less good predictors of lifespan, suggesting that early increases in body fat are more deleterious than the maximum fatness reached in life.

In any case, ROS themselves are bad predictors of lifespan as both OR and dj-1β are long-lived (compared to DAH) in spite of opposite levels of ROS.

Subsequently, these circuit-level changes could produce hyposmia or anosmia, which may be among the earliest predictors of lifespan and mortality across species (Toth et al., 2012; Liu et al., 2013; Pinto et al., 2014).

Furthermore, although individuals with long telomeres early in life maintained longer telomeres throughout their life compared to individuals with short telomere early in life, telomere length early in life is a much stronger predictor of realized lifespan when compared to telomere length in adulthood [ 24].
