Key points from article :
Changes occur in age-associated mRNA expression with ageing.
Occur in pathways that involve RNA processing, translation and immune function.
Associated with coronary heart disease, hypertension, blood pressure and glucose levels.
Potential to use them to detect accelerated ageing and to predict risks for age-related diseases.
Explored associations of age with whole-blood microRNA expression in 5221 adults.
Collaborative research published in the journal Aging Cell.
