Ageing studies

Ageing is defined by the decline of physiological functions in various organs and tissues leading to an increased probability of death. Some individuals delay, escape or survive much of this age-related decline. Most of the known genetic associations only account for small percentages of the variance in lifespan. Therefore, ageing is probably a highly polygenic trait. Longitudinal data of age-related traits can be used in association studies to test for polymorphisms that predict how an individual will change over time.
