Funded Activity Summary

People in Australia are living longer and longer and yet little is known about the underlying biology of the ageing process. This project will investigate the role of a number of molecular and cellular factors in the aetiology of frailty in a group of more than 1400 older men who are already participating in the Concord Health and Ageing in Men Project. A particular focus of the project are sirtiuns, a group of enzymes recently found to be associated with longer life in several animal models.
