When it comes to living long life, it seems not all organs are made equal. Scientists know that having a young brain or immune system can be key – more than gradually age heart or lungs.

We have already known that Organs Age at different ratesbut it is unclear which one has the greatest influence on lifespan, as Hamilton Se-Hwee Oh In the Medicine School of Icahn on Mount Sinai in New York.

So, oh and his companions analyzes the level of nearly 3000 proteins of blood samples collected from more than 44,000 people enrolled at the age of 40 and 70s.

Using genetic data from previous studies, the team has managed to build a picture of where these proteins are in the body, more generous in 11 places: the immune system, heart, BRAINSLiver, lungs, muscles, pancreas, kidney, gut and fat tissue. The upper level of these proteins indicates that it is important in the correct action of these organs and body systems.

Next, the team trains machine learning models to determine how participants are based on data from about half of them, which makes a different model for each of the 11 parts of the body. While these estimates are usually paired with participants fairly well, some models raised or developed it, supporting the idea that the organs of the ages at different rates, as Oh.

Researchers use experienced models to predict organ and Immune System Ages of the remaining half of the participants, followed by an average of 11 years after their blood followed.

Oh and his colleagues find that an unguarded organ, or an older immunity resistance, linked to a 1.5- to 3-fold increase in the number of older places.

For many, organs like a heart or lungs appear younger than expected unrelated to a decrease during the period of study. Exceptions are those who have the most young brains or immune systems, whose risk of death reduced to about 40 percent – increase of 56 percent if these two parts of the body are very young.

“The brain and immune system coordinates many other things around the body, so if the errors, less weird they can have many effects on Lifespan,” as Alan Cohen at Columbia University in New York.

But it is not possible that protein markers fully reflect the process of aging, so Cohen. “We may have an incomplete knowledge of what real proteins are from which organs, and the proteins from an organ better represented in blood than other organs;

What else is, the participants are more rich and European ancestors, so additional studies involving a greater behavior and economical different people, say Richard Siow In the King’s College London. Oh say that the team plans the research talking about it.

Although those who find true, we do not have any means to reduce the aging of the brain and immune system, as oh. However, recognition of brain markers and immune growing helps improve medications that seek it to develop a long life.
