Abstract
Biological ageing is distinct from chronological ageing and is determined by environmental as well as genetic factors. We will examine Aberdeen Birth Cohorts from 1921 and 1936 to investigate the relationship between biological ageing in body systems and molecular biomarkers of ageing relating to oxidative stress, antioxidant status, DNA damage and repair and genomic instability. We will intensively study those subjects who show the highest and lowest rates of change in biological ageing to determine the contribution of nutritional factors on these processes.
