Article Synopsis
- * The review discusses how machine learning (ML) combined with various omics technologies can help identify the molecular traits of aging, like genomic instability and chronic inflammation.
- * By applying ML to complex data, researchers can find new biomarkers and treatment targets for personalized anti-aging strategies, improving our understanding of aging to enhance health and longevity.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines mortality trends in Greece from 2001 to 2020, highlighting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in an aging population, which can inform health policies in other similar societies.
- Data on deaths and population were analyzed using age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) and cause-specific rates across different age groups, revealing significant trends in cardiovascular diseases and other major causes of death.
- Findings showed a notable decrease in ASMR for cardiovascular diseases, although hypertensive diseases rose significantly; the leading causes of death shifted based on age, emphasizing the need for updated health strategies in response to these trends.
This study investigates the forecasting of cardiovascular mortality trends in Greece's elderly population. Utilizing mortality data from 2001 to 2020, we employ two forecasting models: the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Facebook's Prophet model. Our study evaluates the efficacy of these models in predicting cardiovascular mortality trends over 2020-2030.

Functional hypogonadism (FH) has been defined as the combination of low testosterone levels, typically serum total testosterone below 300-350 ng/dL, together with manifestations of hypogonadism, in the absence of an intrinsic pathology of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular (HPT) axis. It is usually seen in middle-aged or elderly males as a product of aging and multimorbidity.

The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of maternal smoking and to elucidate factors predisposing to it among pregnant women in Athens, Greece.
Methods: A population of 1700 pregnant women (mean age: 31.
