    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.

Exercise

  • Resistance training and grip exercises Moderate

    LRCH4 rs117763269 G allele associates with reduced hand grip strength and physical function; targeted resistance training counteracts this predisposition.

    2-3 sessions per week of resistance training and grip-specific exercises

Screening

  • Grip strength and physical function assessment Moderate

    LRCH4 rs117763269 G allele is associated with reduced hand grip strength and physical function; regular monitoring enables early intervention.

    Annual grip strength testing and functional mobility assessment
