Cell counts

Lung function decline and scan findings linked to later frailty

Each 1%-per-year drop in the volume of air forcibly exhaled in one second was linked to 1.47 times the odds of frailty at 10 years.Each 1%-per-year drop in the volume of air forcibly exhaled in one second was linked to 1.47 times the odds of frailty at 10 years.

Limit: Baseline frailty was unmeasured, so follow-up cases could already have been frail

Blood cell composition explains substantial variation in DNA methylation age

Cell counts explain less variation in age acceleration and only modestly affect its links to mortality and 176 incident health outcomes.Cell counts explain less variation in age acceleration and only modestly affect its links to mortality and 176 incident health outcomes.
