Multimorbidity predicts remaining lifespan in nonhuman primate model of accelerated aging
Innovation in Aging(2023)
摘要
Abstract Multimorbidity is common among older adults and linked to shorter lifespans, but it is unclear how naturally-occurring multimorbidity impacts lifespan in non-human primate models of aging. We developed a clinical multimorbidity index based on standardized veterinary diagnoses in 288 rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) from the Wake Forest Radiation Late Effects Cohort, animals that survived an early-life insult from whole-body radiation and controls (73 female, 237 irradiated, ages 2-24). Our index is based on diagnosis of arthritis, low bone density, cataracts, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, heart disease, hepatic dysfunction, hypertension, kidney disease, lung fibrosis, skin disorders, tumors, and overweight/underweight. All diseases were seen in both control and irradiated animals and there was a broad distribution of multimorbidity trajectories across the lifespan both in number and combinations of diseases. On average, the first diagnosis occurred at age 9.0 (equal to 35% of median lifespan) and the second at age 10.7. However, 20% of animals that lived to age 12 were without any diagnoses while others had as many as 9 comorbidities, highlighting broad variability in multimorbidity with aging. Cox proportional-hazard ratios (HR) show significant negative associations (p < 0.05) between survival and multimorbidity. Ages 3-6 years, each additional morbidity doubles likelihood of death (HR > 2) with HR falling from 1.9 to 1.4 from ages 6-15. Based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, multimorbidity predicts 2-year mortality with AUC > 0.65 from ages 7-14. Our findings suggest multimorbidity is prevalent and predicts lifespan in NHP survivors of radiation. Research was funded by NIHU01AI150578.
