THE BALTIMORE LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF HUMAN AGING

巴尔的摩老龄化纵向研究(BLSA)，NIA的主要 关于人类对人类衰老的研究计划，已经在 1958年成立老年医学研究中心。整体的科学性 BLSA的目标是： 识别不同年龄段和不同年龄的个体之间的差异 在这些个体的连续观察中发生的变化 随着时间的推移；确定相对贡献 老龄化、疾病进程、队列效应和长期效应 产生观察到的差异和变化；并建立 这些因素之间相互关联和/或相互作用的程度。 扩大对预测因素和风险的科学理解 特定疾病的因素和与以下因素有关的其他终点 适应老龄化进程的成功和失败。 与BLSA合作的科学家被分配到7个部分中的11个部分 除了LSB之外的实验室。LSB员工管理和 管理BLSA并与其进行研究。

The Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA), the NIA's major research program on human on human aging, has been conducted at the Gerontology Research Center since 1958. The overall scientific goals of the BLSA are: To identify differences among individuals of different ages and changes that occur in the serial observations of these individuals with the passage of time; to determine the relative contribution of aging, disease processes, cohort effects and secular effects in producing observed differences and changes; and to establish the degree of interrelation and/or interaction among these factors. To expand scientific understanding about predictors and risk factors for specific diseases and for other end points related to successes and failures of adaptation to aging processes. Scientists working with BLSA are assigned to 11 sections of 7 laboratories in addition to the LSB. LSB staff administer and manage the BLSA as well as conduct research with it.
