#geroscience pearls
#MachineLearning analysis identified key mortality predictors
1. ProBNP
2. TNF R1,
3. Lymphocytes,
4. NFL,
5. Cystatin C
We know to check for BNP and ProBNP in patients with CHF. Important to know that it predicts overall mortality beyond CHF.

****advocating that we pivot from longevity to #LongevityHealthspan
@NIHAging #Geroscience summit -- best kept health secret:
1. Get up, set a timer and walk for 6 minutes
2. measure how long you can walk in 6 min.
3.Do it between every 😄single😄meeting😄.
The 6 min walk test is a marker of functional status in #aging.
Dare to become a centenarian? You will be in good company as this cohort is growing by the minute
Learning about the genetic variants seen in #centenarians. #geroscience @NIHAging -- happening now!
What are the secrets of #centenarians and their off-spring? #geroscience @NIHAging
Surprise: They do NOT lead "healthier" lifestyles compared to you and me.
