RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: We constructed multistate life tables for CVD, myocardial infarction, and stroke, using data from 2551 enrollees (1130 men) in the Framingham Heart Study who were 45 years of age. RESULTS: Obesity and pre-obesity were associated with fewer number of years free of CVD, myocardial infarction, and stroke and an increase in the number of years lived with these diseases. Forty-five-year-old obese men with no CVD survived 6.0 years [95% confidence interval (CI), 4.1; 8.1] fewer than their normal weight counterparts, whereas, for women, the difference between obese and normal weight subjects was 8.4 years (95% CI: 6.2; 10.8). Obese men and women lived with CVD 2.7 (95% CI: 1.0; 4.4) and 1.4 years (95% CI: -0.3; 3.2) longer, respectively, than normal weight individuals. DISCUSSION: In addition to reducing life expectancy, obesity before middle age is associated with a reduction in the number of years lived free of CVD and an increase in the number of years lived with CVD. Such information is paramount for preventive and therapeutic decision-making by individuals and practitioners alike.

Periodicals Indexation Adolescent ; Adult ; Aged ; Aging ; Antigens, CD ; Child ; Child, Preschool ; Female ; Fetal Blood ; Humans ; Immunophenotyping ; Infant ; Journal Article ; Leukocyte Count ; Lymphocyte Subsets ; Male ; Middle Aged ; Peer Review ; United States Abstract: Flow cytometric analysis of major lymphocyte populations and their subsets reveals age-related changes in the cellular human immune system. Immunophenotypic markers were evaluated in 110 normal pediatric subjects, divided into groups of newborn infants, infants aged 2 days to 11 months, and children aged 1 to 6 years and 7 to 17 years; results were then compared with those obtained from 101 normal adults aged 18 to 70 years. Comparisons among age groups from newborn infants through adults reveal progressive declines in the absolute numbers of leukocytes, total lymphocytes, and T, B, and natural killer (NK) cells. The percentages of T cells within the total lymphocyte population increase with age, in both CD4+ and CD8+ subsets. Percentages of B and NK cells are higher in newborn infants than in adults. The expression of the activation markers interleukin-2R and HLA-DR on T cells increases with age, as does the NK-associated expression of CD57 on CD8 cells. The proportions of B lymphocytes that coexpress CD5 or CDw78 decrease with age, whereas expression of Leu-8 and CD23 increases. The proportion of CD4 cells bearing the CD45RA and Leu-8 markers is consistently lower in adults than in children. These data may serve as a reference range for studies of pediatric subjects.

Age-related changes in human blood lymphocyte subpopulations / Frank Hulstaert in Clinical immunology and immunopathology, 70(1994)02 ([02/01/1994])

Periodicals Indexation Adolescent ; Adult ; Aging ; Antigens, CD ; Antigens, Differentiation ; Child ; Child, Preschool ; Female ; Humans ; Immunophenotyping ; Infant ; Infant, Newborn ; Journal Article ; Leukocyte Count ; Male ; Middle Aged ; T-Lymphocytes ; United States Abstract: A reference range for lymphocyte populations, with particular emphasis on T lymphocyte subsets, was obtained for normal individuals covering age cohorts from birth through adulthood. This report confirms and extends findings from a developmental reference range published earlier (1). Absolute numbers of WBC, lymphocytes, and T, B, and NK subsets decline significantly during childhood. However, differences in the rate of decline of certain lymphocyte subsets leads to discordance between absolute numbers and percentages. Those lymphocyte subsets which decline less rapidly with age than the total lymphocyte count will show an increase in percentage, whereas those which decline more rapidly will show further declines in percentage values. T cell percentages were seen to increase over time whereas B cell percentages decline. Markers of immaturity such as CD45RA on CD4 cells and CD38 on CD8 cells declined in both percentages and absolute numbers. Activation markers, such as HLA-DR on CD8 cells and IL2-R on CD3 cells, increased in percentages with time but changed inconsistently in cell number from infancy to adulthood. These findings extend the lymphocyte references range to markers thought to be informative in various disease states, including HIV infection.
