2. Amygdala responses to emotionally valenced stimuli in older and younger adults

Author: Mather, Mara, Canli, T, English, T, Whitfield, S, Wais, P, Ochsner, K, Gabrieli, JDE, and Carstensen, L L
Subjects: amygdala, aging, emotion, fMRI
Abstract: As they age, adults experience less negative emotion, come to pay less attention to negative than to positive emotional stimuli, and become less likely to remember negative than positive emotional materials. This profile of findings suggests that, with age, the amygdala may show decreased reactivity to negative information while maintaining or increasing its reactivity to positive information. We used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging to assess whether amygdala activation in response to positive and negative emotional pictures changes with age. Both older and younger adults showed greater activation in the amygdala for emotional than for neutral pictures; however, for older adults, seeing positive pictures led to greater amygdala activation than seeing negative pictures, whereas this was not the case for younger adults.

Abstract: Hirschsprung disease (HSCR, OMIM 142623) involves congenital intestinal obstruction caused by dysfunction of neural crest cells and their progeny during enteric nervous system (ENS) development. HSCR is a multifactorial disorder; pathogenetic variants accounting for disease phenotype are identified only in a minority of cases, and the identification of novel disease-relevant genes remains challenging. In order to identify and to validate a potential disease-causing relevance of novel HSCR candidate genes, we established a complementary study approach, combining whole exome sequencing (WES) with transcriptome analysis of murine embryonic ENS-related tissues, literature and database

Abstract: The genetic background of childhood body mass index (BMI), and the extent to which the well-known associations of childhood BMI with adult diseases are explained by shared genetic factors, are largely unknown. We performed a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of BMI in 61,111 children aged between 2 and 10 years. Twenty-five independent loci reached genome-wide significance in the combined discovery and replication analyses. Two of these, located near NEDD4L and SLC45A3, have not previously been reported in relation to either childhood or adult BMI. Positive genetic correlations of childhood BMI with birth weight and adult BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, diastolic blood pressure and type 2 diabetes were detected (Rg ranging from 0.11 to 0.76, P-values <0.002). A negative genetic correlation of childhood BMI with age at menarche was observed. Our results suggest that the biological processes underlying childhood BMI largely, but not completely, overlap with those underlying adult BMI. The well-known observational associations of BMI in childhood with cardio-metabolic diseases in adulthood may reflect partial genetic overlap, but in light of previous evidence, it is also likely that they are explained through phenotypic continuity of BMI from childhood into adulthood.

Subjects: Abstracts
Abstract: Sightlines is an ongoing project at the Stanford Center on Longevity that studies how Americans are living healthy, financially secure, and socially engaged lives and investigates how these metrics have changed over time. Here, we present findings on the social engagement and physical health of Americans, but mainly highlight our most recent report on financial security, analyzing the latest trends in this domain over six original Sightlines metrics, as well as closer inspections of financial literacy, homeownership, and retirement preparedness. In this report, we utilize five data sources: the Survey of Consumer Finances, the Health and Retirement Study, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, the Consumer Expenditure Survey, and our own nationally representative Milestones survey to analyze financial indicators. In addition, we parse our data by age, ethnicity, education, and gender to discover how well different subsets of Americans are preparing for a healthy, financially secure lifetime. Important findings include: overall, younger generations are falling behind in reaching the same life and financial milestones at the same ages as older adults, Baby Boomers mark when financial preparedness for retirement starts to decline versus older generations, and there are demographics disparities in financial well-being that make the decline uneven across the population, such as lower financial literacy among women versus men. These findings indicate that changes must be made, and we plan to use this knowledge to design improved educational programs and influence policy, so that all Americans can enjoy secure, longer lives.

13. CAN ENVISIONING YOUR FUTURE IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH?

Author: Raposo, S and Carstensen, L
Subjects: Abstracts
Abstract: As life expectancies increase, engaging in healthful behaviors throughout life becomes increasingly important. Despite widespread knowledge about the long-term consequences of exercising and eating well, motivation to prepare for the future is typically weak. This lack of motivation may be due to a failure to clearly envision the distant future. We tested whether vividly envisioning the distant future promotes healthful behaviors. In Study 1, adults (N = 161) who reported more vivid futures reported engaging in more healthful behaviors in their daily lives (β = .20, t = 2.54, p = .012). In Study 2 we manipulated vividness using age-progressed images. Participants reported typical daily habits at baseline (one week prior) and again at follow-up two weeks after they saw their image. Compared to participants who saw their current image (n = 50), participants who saw age-progressed images (n = 53) reported a greater increase in healthful behaviors relative to baseline, Welch’s t(96) = -1.79, p = .038. We also present preliminary results from an ongoing experiment where we test possible mechanisms underlying this relationship, including awareness of future consequences and emotional investments in the future. Our findings suggest that clearly envisioning the future may motivate healthful behaviors, and thus promote healthy aging.

Abstract: Genetic association studies have identified 21 loci associated with atopic dermatitis risk predominantly in populations of European ancestry. To identify further susceptibility loci for this common, complex skin disease, we performed a meta-analysis of >15 million genetic variants in 21,399 cases and 95,464 controls from populations of European, African, Japanese and Latino ancestry, followed by replication in 32,059 cases and 228,628 controls from 18 studies. We identified ten new risk loci, bringing the total number of known atopic dermatitis risk loci to 31 (with new secondary signals at four of these loci). Notably, the new loci include candidate genes with roles in the regulation of innate host defenses and T cell function, underscoring the important contribution of (auto)immune mechanisms to atopic dermatitis pathogenesis.

Abstract: Birth weight (BW) has been shown to be influenced by both fetal and maternal factors and in observational studies is reproducibly associated with future risk of adult metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease1. These lifecourse associations have often been attributed to the impact of an adverse early life environment. Here, we performed a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of BW in 153,781 individuals, identifying 60 loci where fetal genotype was associated with BW (P < 5 × 10-8). Overall, approximately 15% of variance in BW was captured by assays of fetal genetic variation. Using genetic association alone, we found strong inverse genetic correlations between BW and systolic blood pressure (Rg =-0.22, P = 5.5 × 10-13), T2D (Rg =-0.27, P = 1.1 × 10-6) and coronary artery disease (Rg =-0.30, P = 6.5 × 10-9). In addition, using large-cohort datasets, we demonstrated that genetic factors were the major contributor to the negative covariance between BW and future cardiometabolic risk. Pathway analyses indicated that the protein products of genes within BW-associated regions were enriched for diverse processes including insulin signalling, glucose homeostasis, glycogen biosynthesis and chromatin remodelling. There was also enrichment of associations with BW in known imprinted regions (P = 1.9 × 10-4). We demonstrate that life-course associations between early growth phenotypes and adult cardiometabolic disease are in part the result of shared genetic effects and identify some of the pathways through which these causal genetic effects are mediated.

Abstract: A large number of genetic loci are associated with adult body mass index. However, the genetics of childhood body mass index are largely unknown.We performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of childhood body mass index, using sex- and age-adjusted standard deviation scores.We included 35 668 children from 20 studies in the discovery phase and 11 873 children from 13 studies in the replication phase. In total, 15 loci reached genome-wide significance (P-value < 5 × 10-8) in the joint discovery and replication analysis, of which 12 are previously identified loci in or close to ADCY3, GNPDA2, TMEM18, SEC16B, FAIM2, FTO, TFAP2B, TNNI3K, MC4R, GPR61, LMX1B and OLFM4 associated with adult body mass index or childhood obesity. We identified three novel loci: rs13253111 near ELP3, rs8092503 near RAB27B and rs13387838 near ADAM23. Per additional risk allele, body mass index increased 0.04 Standard Deviation Score (SDS) [Standard Error (SE) 0.007], 0.05 SDS (SE 0.008) and 0.14 SDS (SE 0.025), for rs13253111, rs8092503 and rs13387838, respectively. A genetic risk score combining all 15 SNPs showed that each additional average risk allele was associated with a 0.073 SDS (SE 0.011, P-value = 3.12 × 10-10) increase in childhood body mass index in a population of 1955 children. This risk score explained 2% of the variance in childhood body mass index. This study highlights the shared genetic background between childhood and adult body mass index and adds three novel loci. These loci likely represent age-related differences in streng

Abstract: Homozygosity has long been associated with rare, often devastating, Mendelian disorders, and Darwin was one of the first to recognize that inbreeding reduces evolutionary fitness. However, the effect of the more distant parental relatedness that is common in modern human populations is less well understood. Genomic data now allow us to investigate the effects of homozygosity on traits of public health importance by observing contiguous homozygous segments (runs of homozygosity), which are inferred to be homozygous along their complete length. Given the low levels of genome-wide homozygosity prevalent in most human populations, information is required on very large numbers of people to provide sufficient power. Here we use runs of homozygosity to study 16 health-related quantitative traits in 354,224 individuals from 102 cohorts, and find statistically significant associations between summed runs of homozygosity and four complex traits: height, forced expiratory lung volume in one second, general cognitive ability and educational attainment (P < 1 × 10(-300), 2.1 × 10(-6), 2.5 × 10(-10) and 1.8 × 10(-10), respectively). In each case, increased homozygosity was associated with decreased trait value, equivalent to the offspring of first cousins being 1.2 cm shorter and having 10 months' less education. Similar effect sizes were found across four continental groups and populations with different degrees of genome-wide homozygosity, providing evidence that homozygosity, rather than confounding, directly contributes to phenotypic variance. Contrary to earlier reports in substantially smaller samples, no evidence was seen of an influence of genome-wide homozygosity on blood pressure and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, or ten other cardio-metabolic traits. Since directional dominance is predicted for traits under directional evolutionary selection, this study provides evidence that increased stature and cognitive function have been positively selected in human evolu

Abstract: Homozygosity has long been associated with rare, often devastating, Mendelian disorders, and Darwin was one of the first to recognize that inbreeding reduces evolutionary fitness. However, the effect of the more distant parental relatedness that is common in modern human populations is less well understood. Genomic data now allow us to investigate the effects of homozygosity on traits of public health importance by observing contiguous homozygous segments (runs of homozygosity), which are inferred to be homozygous along their complete length. Given the low levels of genome-wide homozygosity prevalent in most human populations, information is required on very large numbers of people to provide sufficient power. Here we use runs of homozygosity to study 16 health-related quantitative traits in 354,224 individuals from 102 cohorts, and find statistically significant associations between summed runs of homozygosity and four complex traits: height, forced expiratory lung volume in one second, general cognitive ability and educational attainment (P < 1 × 10-300, 2.1 × 10-6, 2.5 × 10-10 and 1.8 × 10-10, respectively). In each case, increased homozygosity was associated with decreased trait value, equivalent to the offspring of first cousins being 1.2 cm shorter and having 10 months' less education. Similar effect sizes were found across four continental groups and populations with different degrees of genome-wide homozygosity, providing evidence that homozygosity, rather than confounding, directly contributes to phenotypic variance. Contrary to earlier reports in substantially smaller samples, no evidence was seen of an influence of genome-wide homozygosity on blood pressure and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, or ten other cardio-metabolic traits. Since directional dominance is predicted for traits under directional evolutionary selection, this study provides evidence that increased stature and cognitive function have been p

Here we use runs of homozygosity to study 16 health-related quantitative traits in 354,224 individuals from 102 cohorts, and find statistically significant associations between summed runs of homozygosity and four complex traits: height, forced expiratory lung volume in one second, general cognitive ability and educational attainment (P < 1 x 10(-300), 2.1 x 10(-6), 2.5 x 10(-10) and 1.8 x 10(-10), respectively). In each case, increased homozygosity was associated with decreased trait value, equivalent to the offspring of first cousins being 1.2 cm shorter and having 10 months' less education. Similar effect sizes were found across four continental groups and populations with different degrees of genome-wide homozygosity, providing evidence that homozygosity, rather than confounding, directly contributes to phenotypic variance. Contrary to earlier reports in substantially smaller samples(5,6), no evidence was seen of an influence of genome-wide homozygosity on blood pressure and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, or ten other cardio-metabolic traits. Since directional dominance is predicted for traits under directional evolutionary selection(7), this study provides evidence that increased stature and cognitive function have been positively sele

Abstract: Item does not contain fulltext, Hypospadias is a common congenital condition in boys in which the urethra opens on the underside of the penis. We performed a genome-wide association study on 1,006 surgery-confirmed hypospadias cases and 5,486 controls from Denmark. After replication genotyping of an additional 1,972 cases and 1,812 controls from Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden, 18 genomic regions showed independent association with P < 5 x 10(-8). Together, these loci explain 9% of the liability to developing this condition. Several of the identified regions harbor genes with key roles in embryonic development (including HOXA4, IRX5, IRX6 and EYA1). Subsequent pathway analysis with GRAIL and DEPICT provided additional insight into possible genetic mechanisms causing hypospadias.

24. A Comparison of Feeding an Oral Electrolyte in the Milk to an Oral Electrolyte Fed Separately in Water to Calves with Diarrhea

Abstract: Oral rehydration of calves with diarrhea is an important component of their treatment. Delivering oral rehydration solutions (ORS) can be time consuming and labor intensive. Most ORS products require separate administration from milk so that proper energy levels and adequate absorption of milk from the gut occurs. The ability to feed ORS directly in the milk has an advantage of time and labor savings. The purpose of this study was to compare two commercial products (RE-SO RB™ and Diaque ™) using their labeled administration for treating uncomplicated diarrhea in calves. RE-SO RB™ was designed for feeding separately in water whereas DiaqueTM was designed for feeding directly in milk. Parameters monitored during the study included morbidity, mortality, and average daily gain (ADG) which was recorded post treatment and at the time of weaning., American Association of Bovine Practitioners Proceedings of the Annual Conference, 2009

Abstract: The onset of lactation results in a physiologically significant loss of calcium. The loss of blood calcium requires increased mobilization of skeletal stores and a concurrent increase in the absorption of dietary calcium. The inability of the animal to maintain calcium homeostasis can result in hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia can manifest itself as a clinical disease which limits mobility. In less severe cases of hypocalcemia, the animal maintains normal mobility and locomotion, but other muscle functions such as GI tract mobility can be altered. Strategies to enhance the periparturient dairy cow's ability to maintain calcium homeostasis includes limiting total calcium intake, modifying the dietary cation-anion difference, injecting cows with calcium immediately after calving, and/or administering an oral calcium supplement immediately after calving. A project has been designed to investigate the strategic use of a mineral supplement dosed as an oral bolus at calving to increase free ionized calcium immediately post-partum., American Association of Bovine Practitioners Proceedings of the Annual Conference, 2007

Abstract: Homozygosity has long been associated with rare, often devastating, Mendelian disorders, and Darwin was one of the first to recognize that inbreeding reduces evolutionary fitness. However, the effect of the more distant parental relatedness that is common in modern human populations is less well understood. Genomic data now allow us to investigate the effects of homozygosity on traits of public health importance by observing contiguous homozygous segments (runs of homozygosity), which are inferred to be homozygous along their complete length. Given the low levels of genome-wide homozygosity prevalent in most human populations, information is required on very large numbers of people to provide sufficient power. Here we use runs of homozygosity to study 16 health-related quantitative traits in 354,224 individuals from 102 cohorts, and find statistically significant associations between summed runs of homozygosity and four complex traits: height, forced expiratory lung volume in one second, general cognitive ability and educational attainment (P < 1 × 10-300, 2.1 × 10-6, 2.5 × 10-10 and 1.8 × 10-10, respectively). In each case, increased homozygosity was associated with decreased trait value, equivalent to the offspring of first cousins being 1.2 cm shorter and having 10 months' less education. Similar effect sizes were found across four continental groups and populations with different degrees of genome-wide homozygosity, providing evidence that homozygosity, rather than confounding, directly contributes to phenotypic variance. Contrary to earlier reports in substantially smaller samples, no evidence was seen of an influence of genome-wide homozygosity on blood pressure and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, or ten other cardio-metabolic traits. Since directional dominance is predicted for traits under directional evolutionary selection, this study provides evidence that increased stature and cognitive function have been positively selected in human evolution, whereas many important risk factors for late-onset complex diseases may not have been.

27. Development, factor structure, and construct validity of the Self-Efficacy About Aging Measure (SEAM)

Author: Loeckenhoff, C., Bondura, A., and Carstensen, L.
Subjects: Health, Seniors
Abstract: Our goal was to develop a measure of aging-related self-efficacy: The belief in one's capabilities to successfully perform behaviors that are necessary to execute positive influence over one's aging process. Thirty-six items were generated to address different domains of aging related change. Using data from 198 adults (mean age = 59.5, sd = 24.5), 22 items were selected to measure perceived aging-related self-efficacy in each of the following domains: Physical abilities, emotion regulation, disease resistance, and memory. The resulting 4-factor structure of the SEAM was replicated in two samples of 223 community dwelling adults (mean age = 39.7, sd = 27.6) and 180 nuns (mean age = 72.9, sd-10.1). Data from the different samples suggest that SEAM scores are significantly lower than current efficacy levels in the same domains (F[2, 184] = 11.81, P < .00001). High perceived self-efficacy for one's aging process as measured by the SEAM is accompanied by fewer physical symptoms (r = -.27, p r =. 15, p r = .42, p r =. 19, p

Abstract: In absolute terms, there have been improvements in social resources for all racial and ethnic groups in the United States. The rise in education levels among blacks and Hispanics, for instance, suggests a lessening of the gap between classes, beginning in the later part of the 1960’s (Kao & Thompson, 2003). Yet the divide in income and to a lesser extent education between peoples who differ in gender, skin color and ethnic origin continues and in many ways is greater now than ever (Danziger & Gottschalk, 1997); (Gottschalk, 1997). The psychological distance between those high and those low in social-economic status continues unabated and threatens to undermine the capacity of communities to foster the positive architecture of hope, optimism and equal opportunity that holds us together as a nation...

45. Aging, motivation, and long-term autobiographical memory

Author: Kennedy, Q. and Carstensen, L.
Subjects: Health, Seniors
Abstract: Socioemotional selectivity theory explains age-related improvements in emotional well-being in terms of motivation. As people age and perceive time as limited, they place greater importance on emotionally meaningful goals, and in doing so, regulate their emotions well. Studies of long-term autobiographical memory show an age-related positive memory bias. Drawing from socioemotional selectivity theory, we hypothesized that the positive memory bias is due to increased motivation to reconstruct an emotionally meaningful past with age. In 1987, a religious order of Catholic nuns completed a survey on their current well-being. The present study is a follow-up with 300 of the nuns, aged 47 -102. Middle-aged and older Sisters motivational states were manipulated to focus on current emotional state or on accuracy while recalling personal information originally reported in 1987. Differences between retrospective and original reports were compared. Results are consistent with the hypothesis of a motivational explanation. Regardless of age, emotion-focused participants were significantly more likely to show a positive memory bias than accuracy participants in recalling aspects of their physical and mental health and emotional experience.

46. President's opening plenary session

Author: Marmot, M., Carstensen, L., and Antonucci, T.
Subjects: Poor -- Health aspects, Health, Seniors
Abstract: In all industrialized societies the poor have worse health than those who are non-poor. Less appreciated is the consistent observation that, among people who are not poor, there is a social gradient in health, longevity, and well-being. The evidence is strong that this social gradient relates to social and psychosocial features of the way society is organized. If all societies have gradients, is there anything we can do about the social gradient in health? Planning for a society without social differentials does not appear promising. This suggests that we need to understand what links position and hierarchy to health, longevity and the quality of life. Two crucial factors are the degree to which people are able to control their lives in the sense of moving in the direction of being able to lead the life they most want to live; and participating fully in society. Not only has research led to better understanding of these processes, but there are grounds for optimism that we can do something about them. President's Opening Reception Friday, November 22, 9:00 pm-10:30 pm
