Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the association between biological age acceleration and osteoporosis (OP) risk in middle-aged and older adults using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The research focused on analyzing the relationship between two biological aging metrics, Klemera-Doubal Method Age (KDMAge) and Phenotypic Age (PhenoAge), and OP risk.
Methods: The study analyzed data from NHANES, which included 6550 participants aged 50 and above from survey cycles 2005-2010 and 2017-2018. Linear and logistic regression were used to investigate the relationship between biological age acceleration (KDMAgeAccel and PhenoAgeAccel) and OP. Subgroup analysis was performed by age, gender and other factors. Multivariable Cox regression analysis yielded Hazard Ratios (HRs) relating biological age acceleration to mortality were evaluated. The study also considered the mediating roles of body mass index (BMI).
Results: KDMAgeAccel (odds ratio [OR] = 2.34, 95 % CI, 1.72-3.18) and PhenoAgeAccel (OR = 2.03, 95 % CI, 1.48-2.78) were significantly associated with increased OP risk and reduced bone mineral density (BMD). Specifically, higher KDMAgeAccel and PhenoAgeAccel were linked to higher OP prevalence and lower BMD at multiple sites. Subgroup analyses indicated that the association between accelerated biological age acceleration and OP risk was consistent across different demographics. Mediation analysis revealed that BMI partially mediated the relationship between accelerated biological age and OP, although other mechanisms are likely involved. Statistical analysis indicated that individuals with higher biological age metrics had increased mortality risk related to OP.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that accelerated biological age is a robust predictor of OP risk and related mortality. KDMAgeAccel and PhenoAgeAccel could serve as valuable biomarkers for identifying individuals at high risk for OP, guiding preventive strategies.

This study aimed to investigate the association between the interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) gene polymorphism (rs2853550) and the risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a sample of the Iraqi population. The study included 100 RA patients and 100 healthy controls. Demographic characteristics, including age and gender, were collected and compared between the two groups.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are recognized as the second most common medical condition, following respiratory infections. Despite the availability of numerous efficacious antibiotics for the management of UTIs, the rising incidence of bacterial resistance presents significant challenges in the treatment of these infections. Bacteria are endowed with the ability to reproduce and develop resistance mechanisms against antibiotics.

Prostate cancer is the most common type after the age of fifty. It affects males and affects the prostate gland, which protects the function of sperm by producing semen. The current study was designed to evaluate prostate cancer infection effects on some biomarkers such as irisin, Tumor necrosis factor-TNF-α, prostate acid phosphates -PAP, Glutathione-GSH, malondialdehyde-MDA, urea, and creatinine.

Background: Diatomite is a source of biologically available silicon but in feed industry its insecticide and anti-caking properties have been also widely recognized. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of dietary diatomite-bentonite mixture (DBM) supplementation on the quantitative and qualitative composition of the bacterial microbiome of the broiler chicken gut. The trial was carried out on 960 Ross 308 broiler chickens divided into 2 experimental groups throughout the entire rearing period lasting 6 weeks.

Background: New indicators of potential human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission are being actively explored. We aim to categorical testing of the viral load (VL) of persons living with HIV (PLWH) in order to explore new indicators to measure the intensity of the epidemic and the effectiveness of the response in the community.
Methods: A dynamic cohort study was conducted in Yining to monitor the VL of all persons living with HIV from 2017 to 2019.
