Hydroxy-sphingomyelin 22:1 as biomarker for healthy ageing

摘要

Using NMR/MS based metabonomics and targeted lipidomics approaches the inventors have explored the metabolic phenotypes of aging and longevity in a cohort compromising centenarians, elderly and young adults. The inventors have identified biomarkers for a reduced risk of developing ageing related chronic inflammatory disorders and propose a method of diagnosing a lifestyle that allows delaying and/or avoiding ageing related chronic inflammatory disorders using hydroxy-sphingomyelin SM-OH-22:1 as biomarker.
