Abstract

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has been associated with osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and mortality in middle and older aged adults. Cross-sectionally, IGF-1 decreases with age and levels of IGF-1 are markedly different between individuals. However, little is known about intra-individual trajectories of IGF-1. We examined baseline and serial measures of plasma total IGF-1, IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-3, and their ratio, which is a proxy for bioavailable IGF-1, among 1618 adults, aged 50-95, enrolled in the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging. At baseline, IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 were strongly correlated (r = 0.62, p < 0.001). Total IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 decreased across age, while the ratio of IGF-1/IGFBP-3 increased across age. This pattern was consistent across ages at baseline and intra-individually over an average 2.3 years follow-up (range = 10 months-5.6 years). In age-adjusted linear regression models, baseline levels of total IGF-1, IGFBP-3, and IGF-1/IGFBP-3 varied by participant characteristics (sex, BMI, gait speed), medical comorbidities (Charlson comorbidity index score, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease), and hormone replacement therapy use in women. High interclass ...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Aging-Associated Metabolic Disorders

Age is associated with many metabolic disorders including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease. The mediators in aging process have been suggested to play a part in the cellular processes responsible for these metabolic disorders. Here is the latest research on aging-associated metabolic disorders.
