Article Synopsis
- Longevity in families has both genetic and epigenetic factors, and studying these aspects can benefit from a birth cohort approach.
- The original family longevity selection score (FLoSS) primarily focuses on older populations, but researchers adapted it for a younger cohort, specifically the KUNO-Kids study.
- In this study, 551 families contributed to the new FLoSS, revealing that around 3.3% of families scored exceptionally high, suggesting that this adapted score could be useful for identifying early predictors of longevity in a broader context.
