Apolipoprotein E, health, and mortality in Taiwanese older adults
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), a commonly investigated genetic marker, has been linked to health outcomes and longevity. ApoE has three common alleles: E2, E3, and E4, with E3 being the most prevalent allele in most populations. The E4 allele is a common genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s and cardiovascular disease (Corder et al., 1996; Eichner et al., 2002; Lahoz et al., 2001; Rosvall et al., 2009)...
متن کاملApolipoprotein E and kidney function in older adults
BACKGROUND Previous studies suggest that the ε4 and ε2 alleles of apolipoprotein E (APOE) may be associated with decreased and increased risks of CKD, respectively, but there are limited data in older adults. We evaluated the associations of apolipoprotein E alleles with kidney function among older adults in the cardiovascular health study (CHS). METHODS Caucasian participants had APOE alleli...
متن کاملApolipoprotein E, B vitamins, and cognitive function in older adults.
Recognition of dated and contemporary famous faces, short-term memory, and visuospatial abilities were investigated in adults aged 75 years and older as a function of apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype, epsilon4 or not epsilon4, and whether participants recorded normal or low levels of B vitamins. No associations between B vitamins and APOE were identified in respect to short-term memory or visuo...
متن کاملPredictors of Upper-Extremity Physical Function in Older Adults
Background: Little is known about the influence of habitual participation in physical exercise and diet on upper-extremity physical function in older adults. To assess the relationship of general physical exercise and diet to upper-extremity physical function and pain intensity in older adults. Methods: A cohort of 111 patients 50 or older completed a sociodemographic survey, the Rapid Asse...
متن کاملApolipoprotein E-polymorphism, frailty and mortality in older adults
Although apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphism is associated with variable risks of several illnesses, and with mortality, no persuasive relationship has been demonstrated with frailty. Here, the clinical examination cohort (n=1452 older adults, aged 70+ years at baseline) of the Canadian Study of Health and Aging was evaluated, with 5-year follow-up data. Frailty was defined using both the phen...
