Measured Physical Activity Age by Chirag Patel (12240839)

“…We performed a genome wide association on the accelerated aging phenotypes to estimate its heritability (h_g2=12.3±0.9%) and identified ten single nucleotide polymorphisms in close proximity to genes in a histone and olfactory cluster on chromosome six (e.g <em>HIST1H1C, OR5V1</em>). Similarly, we identified biomarkers (e.g blood pressure), clinical phenotypes (e.g chest pain), diseases (e.g hypertension), environmental (e.g smoking), and socioeconomic (e.g income and education) variables associated with accelerated aging. …”

Impact of Material Shade and Distance from Light Curing Unit Tip on the Depth of Polymerization of Composites by André L. Faria-e-Silva (4628758)
