Brief summary

EAA difference by Phenoage epigenetic clock

Detailed description

EAA difference by Horvath´s clock, Hannum´s clock, GrimAge and PhenoAge, Immune profile: % and absolute number of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, CD4+/CD8+ ratio, haematopoietic progenitors, CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell subsets (recent thymic emigrants, naïve, central and effector memory, TEMRA, activated, exhausted and senescent), T-reg, B-cell subsets (naïve, class-switched memory, non-class switched memory), NK subsets (CD56dim CD16hi, CD56hi CD16-/low) and monocytes (classic, non-classic and intermediate), Changes in the inflammatory markers: IL-6, CRP, D-Dimer, Changes in Telomere length in PBMC, Changes in the following aging biomarkers:  TAME biomarkers: IL-6, TNFR II, hsCRP, GDF15, IGF-1, fasting insulin, cystatin C; NT-proBNP, haemoglobin A1c. Oxidative stress and DNA damage: reactive oxygen species (ROS), catalase expression, superoxide dismutase 1 - 2 levels, γH2AX histone levels. Other inflammatory and pro-coagulant biomarkers: IL-1 beta, TNF-alfa, D-dimer, Changes in the following Frailty battery: Fried frailty index, grip strength, walking speed and short physical performance battery, Changes in creatinine, Changes in integrated and total (Gag) HIV-DNA. Changes in CA US HIV-RNA. Changes in intact proviral DNA
