    ABSTRACT: Large-scale genomic studies focusing on the genetic contribution to human aging have mostly relied on cross-sectional data. With the release of longitudinally curated aging phenotypes by the UK Biobank (UKBB), it is now possible to study aging over time at genome-wide scale. In this work, we evaluated the suitability of competing models of change in realistic simulation settings, performed genome-wide association scans on simulation-validated measures of age-related deweekcline, and followed up with LD-score regression and Mendelian Randomization (MR) analyses. Focusing on global cognitive and physical function, we observed marked differences between baseline function (θ) and accelerated decline (Δ). Both outcomes showed distinct heritability levels (e.g., 31.38% versus 3.15%

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Discuss with your doctor

  • Accelerated physical decline risk with DUSP6 variant Moderate

    rs113645269 (G allele) associates with accelerated physical decline independent of baseline function; discussing with a healthcare provider enables personalized monitoring and prevention planning.

Exercise

  • Resistance training for strength maintenance Moderate

    DUSP6 variant increases risk of accelerated decline; systematic resistance training helps preserve muscle mass and functional capacity against genetic predisposition.

    2-3 sessions per week of resistance or strength training exercise

Lifestyle

  • Bone mineral density and calcium-vitamin D status Moderate

    Bone mineral density is a modifiable predictor of physical decline; maintaining skeletal health offsets decline risk from DUSP6 variant.

    Periodic assessment of bone health; maintain adequate calcium (1000-1200 mg/day) and vitamin D (800-2000 IU/day)

  • Sleep quality optimization Moderate

    Poor sleep identified as independent risk factor for physical decline in GWAS; gene-environment interactions in DUSP6 variant suggest sleep management is protective.

    Target 7-9 hours consistent sleep per night; monitor and address sleep disruptions

Screening

  • Physical function decline (grip strength, gait speed) Moderate

    rs113645269 in DUSP6 predicts accelerated physical decline; regular objective assessment of physical capabilities enables early detection and intervention.

    Annual or biannual assessment of grip strength, gait speed, and functional mobility
