Identifying sex-specific biomarkers for intrinsic capacity decline in the aging population

Key Result

IGFBP2 and GDF-15 are identified as sex-specific biomarkers for intrinsic capacity decline, potentially aiding in early screening and targeted interventions.

Key Points

• The aim is to identify sex-specific biomarkers that indicate decline in intrinsic capacity among the aging population.
• Analyzed biomarkers IGFBP2 and GDF-15 in relation to intrinsic capacity decline.
• Examined distinct pathways of these biomarkers.
• Employed statistical analyses to determine sex-specific effects.
• IGFBP2 and GDF-15 were identified as effective biomarkers for intrinsic capacity decline.
• Both biomarkers operate through different pathways.
• The findings support the potential for early screening and targeted interventions.
