    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

  • genetic predisposition to lower lung function Moderate

    rs117199940 C allele significantly associated with lower baseline FEV; physician should assess individual risk factors and monitoring needs

Exercise

  • regular aerobic exercise for respiratory function Moderate

    aerobic conditioning helps maintain or improve forced expiratory volume; especially relevant for individuals with genetic predisposition to lower baseline FEV

    150 minutes moderate intensity aerobic activity per week

Lifestyle

  • active and secondhand smoke exposure Moderate

    genetic variants predisposing to lower FEV indicate reduced respiratory reserve; smoking poses greater health risk to these individuals

Screening

  • spirometry for baseline lung function assessment Moderate

    TULP4 rs117199940 C allele associated with significantly lower baseline forced expiratory volume; establishing personal baseline helps detect abnormal changes
