Physical inactivity and inflammation drive age-related gene changes in skeletal muscles

New research indicates that some age-related changes in gene and protein expression in the skeletal muscles of older individuals may be affected more by physical inactivity and chronic inflammation than primary aging, or intrinsic maturational processes. Physical inactivity and chronic inflammation are the most important drivers of secondary aging, or changes over time that are […]

However, self-perception of good health explained the effect of negative thinking – providing […]
