    Australian Men’s Life Expectancy Tops Other Men’s

    August 23, 2019, Categories  Biology/Biotechnology, Health/Medical

    Michel Guillot, Collin F. Payne. Tracking progress in mean longevity: The Lagged Cohort Life Expectancy (LCLE) approach. Population Studies, 2019; DOI: 10.1080/00324728.2019.1618480

    Australian men are now living longer than any other group of males in the world, according to new research from The Australian National University (ANU). The study introduces a new way of measuring life expectancy, accounting for the historical mortality conditions that today’s older generations lived through. By this measure, Australian men, on average, live to 74.1.

    The news is good for Australian women too; the study shows they’re ranked second, behind their Swiss counterparts.

    Dr Collin Payne co-led the study, which used data from 15 countries across Europe, North America and Asia with high life...

    Learning and Staying in Shape key to Longer Lifespan, study finds

    October 14, 2017, Categories  Biology/Biotechnology, Health/Medical

    Age-specific and sex-specific effects of the 4 GWS associations in LifeGen and the validated candidate loci. The four GWS and three suggestive replicated loci were analysed for age-specific and sex-specific effects on lifespan. a The variants at APOE and CHRNA3/5 exhibit sexually dimorphic effects on parental mortality, while all other variants exhibit more modest often non-significant sex-specific differences. b The effects of each gene on male and female lifespan were meta-analysed and studied in the cases that died aged between 40 and 75 or after 75. APOE exerts a much greater effect in the older age group, while most of the other genes exhibit the opposite effect. FOXO3 appears neutral, if not positive, in the earlier age group. c Effects on mortality were studied in both age groups for both sexes. APOE has the strongest effect on females aged 75+, CHRNA3/5 acts on males aged 40−75 and all other genes display more ambiguous trends
