DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The cardiovascular (C-V) system is a vital organ system most affected by the aging process. The natural history of C-V aging in terms of arterial and cardiac structure/function (C-V indices) is governed by a complex interplay between an intrinsic (biologic) aging effect and a burden of C-V risk factors beginning early in life. This renewal application focuses on the pathobiological traits associated with C-V aging in a community-based, black-white, middle-aged cohort having been followed over 30 years beginning in childhood. The specific aims are to 1) continue monitoring the progression of C-V indices with respect to chronological age, the burden of C-V risk factor variables and familial traits of C-V risk and longevity; 2) determine the relationship between changes in C-V indices and biological aging ascertained by chromosomal telomere dynamics; 3) examine the influence of birth weight on the burden of C-V risk factor variables since childhood and the rate of adverse changes in C-V indices. The ongoing study cohort followed during the previous grant period (Cohort I, n=1,200) and an additional cohort examined as children 10 years ago (Cohort II, n=1,200) are available to achieve these aims. In addition to telomere dynamics, birth weight, and subclinical C-V indices, data on selected key variables relevant to C-V aging, in particular risk variables of metabolic syndrome including inflammation and oxidative stress will be collected. Both cohorts will be examined for 1) C-V indices by carotid IMT, left ventricular structure and function, brachial artery compliance, and arterial pulse wave velocity; 2) C-V risk factor variables comprising obesity measures, blood pressure, lipoprotein variables, glucose, insulin, and parameters of oxidative stress; and 3) telomere length. In addition, data on birth weight, adiponectin, insulin like growth factor-I and binding proteins, homocysteine, fibrinogen, plasminogen activator inhibitor-I, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 will be obtained in Cohort I; telomere attrition rate from childhood to adulthood and familial traits of C-V risk and longevity in Cohort I1. The extensive serial database of the Bogalusa Heart Study provides unique and valuable resources. Findings from the proposed research will further the understanding of C-V aging and predisposing factors that influence aging in a bi-racial young to middle age population. Observations derived from this research will help develop effective preventive strategies to temper mediators that influence premature C-V morbidity and mortality.

描述（由申请人提供）：心血管（C-V）系统是受衰老过程影响最大的重要器官系统。在动脉和心脏结构/功能（C-V指数）方面，C-V衰老的自然历史受固有（生物学）衰老效应的复杂相互作用与从生命早期开始的C-V风险因素负担之间的复杂相互作用。这种更新应用的重点是与C-V衰老相关的病理学特征，在童年开始的30年以上，遵循了30年的社区，黑白，中年队列。具体目的是1）继续监视C-V指数的进展，相对于年龄，C-V风险因素变量的负担以及C-V风险和寿命的家族性状的负担； 2）确定C-V指数变化与染色体端粒动力学确定的生物老化之间的关系； 3）检查出生体重自儿时以来C-V风险因素变量负担的影响以及C-V指数不良变化的率。正在进行的研究队列遵循上一个赠款期（队列I，n = 1,200）和10年前的儿童（同类II，n = 1,200）检查的其他队列可用于实现这些目标。除了端粒动力学，出生体重和亚临床C-V指数外，还将收集与C-V衰老相关的选定关键变量的数据，特别是代谢综合征的风险变量，包括炎症和氧化应激。将通过颈动脉IMT，左心室结构和功能，臂动脉依从性和动脉脉冲波速度检查两个队列的1）C-V指数。 2）C-V风险因素变量包括肥胖症测量，血压，脂蛋白变量，葡萄糖，胰岛素和氧化应激的参数； 3）端粒长度。 此外，在同胞I中将获得有关出生体重，脂联素，胰岛素（如生长因子I）和结合蛋白，同型半胱氨酸，纤维蛋白原，纤维蛋白原激活剂抑制剂，C反应蛋白，白介素6和细胞间粘附分子1的数据。从童年到成年期的端粒损耗率以及C-V风险和寿命I1的家族性质。 Bogalusa心脏研究的广泛序列数据库提供了独特而有价值的资源。拟议的研究的结果将进一步了解C-V衰老和易于影响的因素，这些因素会影响双种族年轻人至中年人口的衰老。 这项研究得出的观察结果将有助于制定有效的预防策略，以调节影响过早C-V发病率和死亡率的调解人。
