A cross-national comparison of 12 biomarkers finds no universal biomarkers of aging among individuals aged 60 and older

Rehkopf, David H.; Rosero-Bixby, Luis; Dow, William H. (Vienna Institute of Demography, 2016)

There is uncertainty about whether biological and anthropometric measures that are clinical risk factors for disease are universally associated with chronological age, or whether these correlations vary depending on the ...
Differences in the association of cardiovascular risk factors with education: A comparison of Costa Rica (CRELES) and the USA (NHANES)

Rehkopf, David H.; Dow, William H.; Rosero-Bixby, Luis (Department of Epidemiology, University of California, 2009)

Despite different levels of economic development, Costa Rica and the USA have similar mortalities among adults. However, in the USA there are substantial differences in mortality by educational attainment, and in Costa ...
Life-course BMI and biomarkes in persons aged 60 years or older : a comparison of the USA and Costa Rica

Rehkopf, David H.; Duong, Andrew; Dow, William H.; Rosero-Bixby, Luis (Cambridge University Press, 2018)

Objective: There is a large literature linking current BMI to levels of cardiovascular risk biomarkers, but it is unknown whether measures of BMI earlier in the life course and maximum BMI are predictive of current levels ...
Longer leukocyte telomere length in Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula: a population-based study

Rehkopf, David H.; Dow, William H.; Rosero-Bixby, Luis; Lin, Jue; Epel, Elissa; Blackburn, Elizabeth H. (ELSEVIER, 2013)

Studies in humans suggest that leukocyte telomere length may act as a marker of biological aging. We investigated whether individuals in the Nicoya region of Costa Rica, known for exceptional longevity, had longer telomere ...
The Nicoya region of Costa Rica: A high longevity island for elderly males

Rosero-Bixby, Luis; Dow, William H.; Rehkopf, David H. (Vienna Institute of Demography, 2013)

Reliable data show that the Nicoyan region of Costa Rica is a hot spot of high longevity. A survival follow-up of 16,300 elderly Costa Ricans estimated a Nicoya death rate ratio (DRR) for males 1990–2011 of 0.80 (0.69–0.93 ...
Predicting survival from telomere length versus conventional predictors: a multinational population-based cohort study

Glei, Dana A.; Goldman, Noreen; Risques, Rosa Ana; Rehkopf, David H.; Dow, William H.; Rosero-Bixby, Luis; Weinstein, Maxine (Public Library of Science, 2016)

Telomere length has generated substantial interest as a potential predictor of aging-related diseases and mortality. Some studies have reported significant associations, but few have tested its ability to discriminate ...
Seasonal variation of peripheral blood leukocyte telomere length in Costa Rica: a population-based observational study

Rehkopf, David H.; Dow, William H.; Rosero-Bixby, Luis; Lin, Jue; Epel, Elissa; Blackburn, Elizabeth H. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2014)

Peripheral blood leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is increasingly being used as a biomarker of aging, but its natural variation in human populations is not well understood. Several other biomarkers show seasonal variation, ...
