with Alzheimer's disease and cellular senescence [12][13][14].In fact, the heritability for human longevity has been estimated to be approximately 20-30%, according to studies of twins, suggesting that external factors such as diet, environment, physical activity and microbiomes are important factors that influence the health span [14][15][16].The increase in the rate of retrotranscription reflects genome deregulation, creating additional mutations, DNA damage, and other forms of genome instability.For instance, the expression of several families of retrotransposable elements increases

inducing an increasing probability of death [17].The understanding of genetic factors involved in ageing has been limited due to the complexity of this process and the heterogeneity among individuals and even among tissues [18][19][20].Tissue cells adopt a senescent phenotype as a consequence of multiple intrinsic, extrinsic, and stochastic factors [21].The combination of these genetic factors is related to longevity and healthy ageing [22].Although this decline is somewhat predictable, some individuals show a much slower decline and get to live past the age of 100.Studies in these individuals showed polymorphisms in some genes which are associated with long life, such as APOE and FOXO3.However, these associations have not been consistent across different populations, suggesting that ageing

allele variants associated with aging, but they were limited by the lack of aging rate biomarkers.Now with NGS technologies, these biomarkers have been emerged such as the epigenetic clock that is described in the DNA methylation sequencing section of this chapter.In this post-genomic era, different strategies have been developed in order to understand the genetic factors involved in aging [17].One strategy used is the study of aging in extreme longevity groups of people, called centenarians.Centenarians are a group that can reach an age above 100 years and has an incidence of 1 every 10,000 people [18].In a pioneering study using extreme longevity people (308 individuals belonging to 137 sibships showing extreme longevity), genome-wide scan analysis identified a region on chromosome 4 associated with extreme longevity [19] that corresponds to the microsomal transfer protein (MTP) [20], which is associated with abetalipoproteinemia and hypobeta lipoproteinemia in humans [21,22].Another approach to study the genetic factors involved in longevity consists in assessing allele frequencies from people of different ages, looking for those polymorphisms (SNPs) with enhanced allele frequencies in high-longevity individuals.Those alleles with diminished frequencies in aged individuals may be associated with age-related diseases.Using this approximation, an SNP that shifts isoleucine to valine was identified in the PKA-anchoring protein (AKAP2) gene.This polymorphism is associated with reduced longevity and cardiac disease [23].Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have confirmed only three loci that affect longevity: FOXO3A, APOE, and an intergenic locus on chromosome 5q33.3[24][25][26]." + } + ], + "7291ceb2-482a-4f9b-a116-2b68ff24854f": [ + { + "document_id":

twin panel, we have demonstrated that healthy physical aging is under a significant degree of genetic influence, with a heritability over 50% (3).Our definition of healthy aging focused principally on freedom from cardiovascular disease, and has received considerable support in the more recent literature.Brand and colleagues (4) reported that parental age at death was a significant predictor of coronary heart disease death in the Framingham offspring study and concluded that familial similarities for age at death may be mediated through shared coronary heart disease risk factors.Frederiksen and colleagues (5) reported that increased parental life was associated with a reduction in odds ratio for their children to have diabetes, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, stroke, and hypertension.We have found that better midlife lipid levels and blood pressures were associated with increased parental longevity in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute twin study

protective genetic factors that lead to longevity are likely to involve fundamental processes of aging that may be different from those associated with early mortality or premature onset of age-related diseases in younger individuals.The mechanisms of aging in humans are far from understood, but available evidence suggests that several pathways-inflammation, oxidative stress and stress responses, cellular senescence, DNA damage and repair, and the growth hormone or insulinlike growth factor and insulin (GH, IGF, INS) axis-may play key roles (9)(10)(11)(12).Model organisms suggest that inhibiting the GH, IGF, or INS axis, which is involved in regulating cell proliferation, cell death, wound repair, and metabolism, may promote longevity by reducing oxidative stress and slowing the rate of cell replication and the accumulation of somatic-cell DNA mutations (13).There is also evidence for other important pathways such as the heatshock proteins and heat-shock factors that are highly conserved across species and play a role in prolongevity transcription pathways.Clinical and epidemiological investigations, including candidate gene studies, have suggested that inflammation pathways may affect life span and risk of age-related conditions such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its risk factors (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19).A combination of multiple genetic variants may be
