Forkhead box O (FOXO) transcription factors constitute a mammalian family of proteins, comprising FOXO1, FOXO3, FOXO4, and FOXO6. Originally recognized as downstream regulators within the insulin pathway, FOXO factors exhibit the ability to bind to diverse target gene promoters, thereby governing crucial facets of cellular homeostasis. These encompass cellular energy generation, resilience against oxidative stress, and the modulation of cell viability and proliferation.

Objective: The G -allele of FOXO3 SNP rs2802292 , which is associated with human resilience and longevity, has been shown to attenuate the impact of hypertension on the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We sought to determine whether the FOXO3 G -allele similarly attenuates the impact of hypertension on the risk of cerebral microinfarcts (CMI).
Methods: From a prospective population-based cohort of American men of Japanese ancestry from the Kuakini Honolulu Heart Program (KHHP) and Kuakini Honolulu-Asia Aging Study (KHAAS) that had brain autopsy data, age-adjusted prevalence of any CMI on brain autopsy was assessed.

Background: Genetic factors influence lifespan. In humans, there appears to be a particularly strong genetic effect in those aged ≥ 90 years. An important contribution is nutrient sensing genes which confer cell resilience.

Such postmortem cellular survival depends on the nature (Hardy scale of slow-fast death) of human death. Slow and expected death typically results from terminal illnesses and includes a prolonged terminal phase of life.

FOXO3 is a ubiquitous transcription factor expressed in response to cellular stress caused by nutrient deprivation, inflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species, radiation, hypoxia, and other factors. We showed previously that the association of inherited FOXO3 variants with longevity was the result of partial protection against mortality risk posed by aging-related life-long stressors, particularly cardiometabolic disease. We then referred to the longevity-associated genotypes as conferring "mortality resilience.
