Living to 100 and beyond: the right genes plus a healthy lifestyle - Harvard Health Publications

health.harvard.edu — “A new study from the ongoing New England Centenarian Study suggests that protective genes may make a big contribution to helping people live to age 100 and beyond. Researchers analyzed and deciphered the entire genetic codes of a man and a woman who lived past the age of 114. The two so-called supercentenarians had about as many disease-promoting genes as individuals who did not live as long. But they also had about 50 possible longevity-associated gene variants, some of which were unexpected anView full resource at health.harvard.edu

Genetic variants in novel pathways influence blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk : Nature : Nature Publishing Group

nature.com — “Blood pressure is a heritable trait influenced by several biological pathways and responsive to environmental stimuli. Over one billion people worldwide have hypertension ([ge]140[thinsp]mm[thinsp]Hg systolic blood pressure or[thinsp][ge]90[thinsp]mm[thinsp]Hg diastolic blood pressure). Even small increments in blood pressure are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events.
