项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT There is a fundamental knowledge gap and missed opportunities due to the current lack of understanding of the relationship between age-related risk factors, such as loss of both global and pelvic skeletal muscle function, and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) among older women and men. LUTS are associated with functional impairment and poor quality of life and are at increased risk of falls, fractures, and mortality. The current narrow focus on urinary tract pathology has led to minimal understanding of what causes these symptoms and correspondingly few effective interventions. A new aging-focused paradigm of LUTS pathophysiology could lead to novel interventions to treat LUTs by defining modifiable LUTS risk factors, such as age-related changes in muscle health, and mechanisms shared across syndromes of aging. My goals are to build an epidemiologic backbone for understanding age-related LUTS risk factors by leveraging high-quality existing data, defining novel and modifiable risk factors and mechanisms for age- related LUTS, and to lead subsequent translational efforts to target these risk factors and mechanisms in older adults. The objective of this application is to evaluate longitudinal associations between multiple measures of skeletal muscle and LUTS. My hypothesis is that age-related changes in skeletal muscle – at the system (strength and physical performance), organ (muscle mass/volume), and cellular (mitochondrial bioenergetics) level – are associated with LUTS severity, independent of chronological age and confounding factors. This hypothesis will be tested by efficiently using data from the prospective cohort “Study of Muscle Mobility and Aging” (SOMMA) to pursue the following specific aims: Aim 1) Determine how baseline and longitudinal changes in muscle function (strength, power) and physical performance (walking speed) are associated with change in LUTS severity; Aim 2) Determine how baseline and longitudinal changes in muscle mass and baseline measures of both total body and pelvic floor muscle volume and shape are associated with change in LUTS severity; and Aim 3) Determine how baseline measures of skeletal muscle mitochondrial function are associated with change in LUTS severity. This project is innovative because it leverages the rapidly evolving field of geroscience to improve the inadequate existing urogenital-focused paradigm of LUTS pathophysiology. The proposed research is significant because it will produce a paradigm of age-related LUTS pathophysiology that will result in improved care for older adults with LUTS by 1) identifying biomarkers of age-related LUTS; 2) improving the benefit:risk ratio for existing therapies by stratifying based on novel LUTS phenotypes; 3) distinguishing the role of changes in global versus pelvic floor muscles in the development of LUTS; 4) facilitating the development of new treatments that target age-related LUTS mechanisms; and ultimately 5) preventing LUTS complications (e.g., frailty, impaired mobility, falls, and poor quality of life) that may be directly caused by LUTS or indirectly caused by shared modifiable factors for which LUTS is an early marker.

项目概要/摘要由于目前缺乏了解，存在基本知识差距并错失了机会与年龄相关的危险因素之间的关系，例如整体骨骼肌和盆腔骨骼肌的丧失老年女性和男性的下尿路症状 (LUTS) 与 LUTS 相关。功能障碍和生活质量差，跌倒、骨折和死亡的风险增加。目前对尿路病理学的狭隘关注导致人们对导致这些疾病的原因知之甚少。症状和相应的有效干预措施很少。病理生理学可以通过定义可改变的 LUTS 危险因素来治疗 LUT 的新干预措施，例如与年龄相关的肌肉健康变化以及衰老综合症共有的机制。我的目标是建立一个流行病学支柱来了解与年龄相关的 LUTS 风险因素利用高质量的现有数据，定义新颖且可改变的风险因素和年龄机制相关的 LUTS，并领导后续的转化工作，以针对老年患者的这些风险因素和机制此应用程序的目的是评估多个测量值之间的纵向关联。骨骼肌和 LUTS 我的假设是骨骼肌在系统中发生了与年龄相关的变化。（力量和身体表现）、器官（肌肉质量/体积）和细胞（线粒体生物能量学）水平——与 LUTS 严重程度相关，与实际年龄和混杂因素无关。这一假设将通过有效地使用来自前瞻性队列“肌肉活动性研究”的数据来检验和老龄化”（SOMMA），以追求以下具体目标：目标 1）确定基线和纵向如何肌肉功能（力量、功率）和身体表现（步行速度）的变化与 LUTS 严重程度的变化；目标 2) 确定肌肉质量的基线和纵向变化以及全身和盆底肌肉体积和形状的基线测量与 LUTS 严重程度；以及目标 3) 确定骨骼肌线粒体功能的基线测量结果如何该项目具有创新性，因为它利用了快速发展的技术。老年科学领域，以改善现有的以泌尿生殖系统为中心的 LUTS 病理生理学范式的不足。这项研究意义重大，因为它将产生与年龄相关的 LUTS 病理生理学范例这将通过 1) 识别与年龄相关的 LUTS 生物标志物 2) 改善对患有 LUTS 的老年人的护理；根据新的 LUTS 表型进行分层，提高现有疗法的获益：风险比 3)；区分整体肌肉和盆底肌肉的变化在 LUTS 发展中的作用；促进针对年龄相关 LUTS 机制的新疗法的开发；并最终 5) 预防可能直接导致 LUTS 并发症（例如虚弱、行动不便、跌倒和生活质量差）由 LUTS 引起或由共同的可改变因素间接引起（LUTS 是其早期标志）。
