The purpose of IMAG is to bring together program officers who have a shared interest in applying modeling and analysis methods to biomedical systems. The meetings are formatted to facilitate an open discussion of what is currently being supported, and for planning future directions in these areas. At each meeting, time is allotted to hear focused presentations from one or two participants to discuss issues relating to modeling and analysis across the government agencies. Discussions also occur online, and participants are informed of talks, conferences and other activities of interest to the group. The NIH BISTIC, (Biomedical Information Science and Technology Consortium), is very supportive of IMAG and serves as the larger body at NIH for disseminating IMAG activities.

National institute that leads the federal government in conducting and supporting research on aging and the health and well-being of older people. The Institute seeks to understand the nature of aging and the aging process, and diseases and conditions associated with growing older, in order to extend the healthy, active years of life. In 1974, Congress granted authority to form NIA to provide leadership in aging research, training, health information dissemination, and other programs relevant to aging and older people. Subsequent amendments to this legislation designated NIA as the primary Federal agency on Alzheimer's disease research. Mission The Institute's mission is to: * Support and conduct genetic, biological, clinical, behavioral, social, and economic research on aging. * Foster the development of research and clinician scientists in aging. * Provide research resources. * Disseminate information about aging and advances in research to the public, health care professionals, and the scientific community,among a variety of audiences. Programs NIA sponsors research on aging through extramural and intramural programs. The extramural program funds research and training at universities, hospitals, medical centers, and other public and private organizations nationwide. The intramural program conducts basic and clinical research in Baltimore, MD, and on the NIH campus in Bethesda, MD.

http://www.lifeextensionfoundation.org/
Established in 1980, the Life Extension Foundation is a nonprofit organization, whose long-range goal is to radically extend the healthy human lifespan by discovering scientific methods to control aging and eradicate disease. The largest organization of its kind in the world, the Life Extension Foundation has always been at the forefront of discovering new scientific breakthroughs for use in developing novel disease prevention and treatment protocols to improve the quality and length of human life. Through its private funding of research programs aimed at identifying and developing new therapies to slow and even reverse the aging process, the Life Extension Foundation seeks to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, such age-related killers as heart disease, stroke, cancer and Alzheimer''s disease. Long-time members are keenly aware of the scientific research that Life Extension Foundation funds to develop validated methods to slow and reverse the aging process. Less known is Life Extension''s multi-prong program to develop safer and more effective cancer therapies. One reason we focus so heavily on cancer research is that this dreaded disease represents a roadblock in our ability to develop effective means to combat aging.

Randomized controlled trial being conducted at two clinical centers in the United States to learn more about the effects of weight loss on urinary incontinence. About 330 overweight women aged 30 or older will participate and will be followed for 18 months. Efficacy of weight reduction as a treatment for urinary incontinence will be examined at 6 months following the intensive weight control program, and the sustained impact of the intervention will be examined at 18 months. To increase the maintenance of weight reduction and facilitate evaluation of the enduring impact of weight loss on urinary incontinence, they propose to study a motivation-based weight maintenance program. At the end of the intensive weight control program, women randomized to the weight loss program will be randomized to either a 12-month skill-based maintenance intervention or to a motivation-based maintenance intervention. The maintenance interventions maximize the potential for sustained weight loss and will allow them to determine if long-term weight reduction will produce continued improvement in urinary incontinence.

Study testing whether strict glucose control lowers the risk of heart disease and stroke in adults with type 2 diabetes. In addition the study is exploring: 1) Whether in the context of good glycemic control the use of different lowering lipid drugs will further improve these outcomes and 2) If strict control of blood pressure will also have additional beneficial effects on reducing cardiovascular disease. The design was a randomized, multicenter, double 2 X 2 factorial trial in 10,251 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It was designed to test the effects on major CVD events of intensive glycemia control, of fibrate treatment to increase HDL-cholesterol and lower triglycerides (in the context of good LDL-C and glycemia control), and of intensive blood pressure control (in the context of good glycemia control), each compared to an appropriate control. All 10,251 participants were in an overarching glycemia trial. In addition, one 2 X 2 trial addressed the lipid question in 5,518 of the participants and the other 2 X 2 trial addressed the blood pressure question in 4,733 of the participants. The glycemia trial was terminated early due to higher mortality in the intensive compared with the standard glycemia treatment strategies. The results were published in June 2008 (N Eng J Med 2008;358:2545-59). Study-delivered treatment for all ACCORD participants was stopped on June 30, 2009, and the participants were assisted as needed in transferring their care to a personal physician. The lipid and blood pressure results (as well as the microvascular outcomes and eye substudy results) were published in 2010. All participants are continuing to be followed in a non-treatment observational study.

A dataset of a panel study of a representative sample of all neighborhoods and households in Los Angeles County, with poor neighborhoods and families with children oversampled, for investigating the social and economic determinants of health and race and ethnic disparities. The study follows neighborhoods over time, as well as children and families. Two waves have been conducted to date, in 2000-2001 (L.A.FANS 1) and again beginning in 2006 through early 2009 (L.A. FANS 2). L.A.FANS-2 will significantly enhance the utility of the L.A.FANS data for studies of adult health disparities by: 1) Replicating self-reported health measures from L.A.FANS-1 and collecting new self-reports on treatment, health behaviors, functional limitations, quality and quantity of sleep, anxiety, health status vignettes, and changes in health status since the first interview; 2) Collecting physiological markers of disease and health status, including diabetes, hypertension, obesity, lung function, immune function, and cardiovascular disease; and 3) Expanding the data collected on adults'' work conditions, stressful experiences, and social ties. Wherever possible, L.A.FANS uses well-tested questions or sections from national surveys, such as the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS), and National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), and other urban surveys, such as the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods, to facilitate comparisons. Data Availability: Public use data, study design, and questionnaire content from L.A.FANS are available for downloading. Researchers can also apply for a restricted use version of the L.A.FANS-1 data that contain considerable contextual and geographically-referenced information. Application procedures are described at the project Website. L.A.FANS-2 fieldwork was completed at the end of 2008. The PIs anticipate L.A.FANS-2 public use data will be released in summer 2009. * Dates of Study: 2000-2008 * Study Features: Longitudinal, Minority Oversamples, Anthropometric Measures, Biospecimens * Sample Size: ** 2000-1: 2,548 (L.A.FANS 1) ** 2006-8: ~3,600 (L.A.FANS 2) Link: * ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/00172

A study that characterizes the extent of change in body composition in older men and women, identifies clinical conditions accelerating these changes, and examines the health impact of these changes on strength, endurance, disability, and weight-related diseases of old age. The study population consists of 3,075 persons age 70-79 at baseline with about equal numbers of men and women. Thirty-three percent of the men are African-Americans as are 46% of the women. All persons in the study were selected to be free of disability in activities of daily living and free of functional limitation (defined as any difficulty walking a quarter of a mile or any difficulty walking up 10 steps without resting) at baseline. The core yearly examination for HEALTH ABC includes measurement of body composition by dual energy x-ray absorptio��������metry (DXA), walking ability, strength, an interview that includes self-report of limitations, a medication survey, and weight (Measurements in the Health ABC Study). Provision has been made for banking of blood specimens and extracted DNA (HealthABC repository). Study investigators are open to collaboration especially for measures focused on obesity and associated weight-related health conditions including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, pulmonary function, cardiovascular disease, vascular disease, diabetes and glucose intolerance, and depression. The principal goals of the HEALTH ABC are: # To assess the association of baseline body weight, lean body mass, body fat, and bone mineral content, in relation to weight history, with: incident functional limitation; incidence and change in severity of weight-related health conditions; recovery of physical function after an acute event; baseline measures of strength, fitness and physical performance; gender, ethnicity and socioeconomic status # To access the contribution of episodes of severe acute illness in healthier older persons to changes in body weight, bone mineral content, lean body mass and body fat, and the relationship of these episodes to risk of functional limitation and recovery. # To assess the impact of weight-related co-morbid illness on the risk of functional limitation and recovery. # To assess the ways in which physiologic mediators of change in body composition influence and are influenced by changes in health in older adults and contribute to change in body composition; to understand how changes in body composition affect weight-related cardiovascular disease risk factors such as lipids, blood pressure and glucose tolerance. # To assess the interdependency of behavioral factors, such as nutrition and physical activity, co-morbid health conditions, and their association with change in body composition in old age. # To provide a firm scientific basis for understanding issues related to weight recommendations in old age through increased knowledge of the potential trade-offs between weight and risk of functional limitation, disability, morbidity and death; to provide information critical for developing effective strategies for the maintenance of health in older persons.

Data and biomaterial from a longitudinal study of 1,500 Swedish twin pairs from age 8 to age 20. Twins, parents, and teachers responded to 4 waves of questionnaires (1994, 1999, 2002, 2006) and a clinical interview. In the last follow up (2006) 1325 biological samples for DNA-extraction were collected. A paper that describes the study was published (Lichtenstein, Tuvblad, Larsson, Carlstrom, 2007, Twin Research and Human Genetics). Twins were followed prospectively from childhood to emerging adulthood. The data include a broad spectrum of measures of environments as well as internalizing and externalizing problems behaviors from different informants (twins, parents, teachers, clinical assessments).

A data set of a longitudinal panel study of health, retirement, and aging that surveys a representative sample of more than 26,000 Americans over the age of 50 every two years. The HRS explores the changes in labor force participation and the health transitions that individuals undergo toward the end of their work lives and in the years that follow. The study captures a dynamic picture of an aging America''s physical and mental health, insurance coverage, financial status, family support systems, labor market status, and retirement planning. The sample in 2006 numbered over 22,000 persons in 13,100 households, with oversamples of Hispanics, Blacks and Florida residents. Beginning in 2006, half the sample received enhanced face-to-face follow-ups that included the collection of physical measures and biomarkers HRS provides a research data base that can simultaneously support continuous cross-sectional descriptions of the US population over the age of fifty-five, longitudinal studies of a given cohort over a substantial period of time (up to 18 years by 2010 for the original HRS cohort, following them from age 51-61 to age 69-79) and research on cross-cohort trends. By 2010 the HRS will be able to support cross-cohort comparisons of trajectories of health, labor supply, or wealth accumulation for persons who entered their 50s in 1992, 1998 and 2004. The HRS also has provided the sampling frame for targeted sub-studies. The Aging, Demographics, and Memory Study (ADAMS) supplement on dementia involved a field assessment of a sample of about 930 HRS panel members aged 75+ to clinically assess their dementia status and dementia severity. Special topics including consumption and time use, prescription drug use and the impact of Medicare Part D, parents'' human capital investments in children, and diabetes management by self-reported diabetics, have appeared on mail surveys that have used the HRS as a sampling frame. The HRS also can accommodate a number of experimental topics using Internet interviewing. The HRS is also characterized by links to a rich array of administrative data, including: Employer Pension Plans; National Death Index; Social Security Administration earnings and (projected) benefits data; W-2 self-employment data; and Medicare and Medicaid files. The HRS has actively collaborated with other longitudinal studies of aging in other countries (e.g., ELSA, SHARE, MHAS), providing both scientific and technical assistance. Data Availability: All publicly available data may be downloaded after registration. Early Release data files are typically available within three months of the end of each data collection, with the Final Release following at 24 months after the close of data collection activities. Files linked with administrative data are released only as restricted data through an application process, as outlined on the HRS website. * Dates of Study: 1992-present * Study Features: Longitudinal, Minority Oversamples, Anthropometric Measures, Biospecimens * Sample Size: 22,000+ Link * ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/06854

The primary purpose is to assess the importance of environmental factors for Parkinson's Disease (PD) in a population-based sample of Swedish twins. In PD discordant twin pairs, what are the environmental factors that contribute to the disease in the affected twin and or protect the unaffected twin? Second, we want to investigate whether the earlier reports of low heritability for elderly male twins can be confirmed for female pairs. All twins 55 years of age and older in the Swedish Twin Registry have been screened for most complex diseases. 626 twins have screened positive for PD and most pairs are discordant. To establish diagnosis, a physician will examine all potential cases and their co-twins and their medical records will be reviewed. Environmental factors will be studied through the use of discordant pairs, where genetic susceptibility to the disease can be controlled. Environmental exposures are being secured with telephone interviews and from a questionnaire collected 30 years ago. Recent results indicate that genetic factors play a very small role. A better understanding of the etiology of PD is important for the possibility of delaying onset or even preventing the disease, as well as for providing guidance for molecular biology studies. Types of samples * DNA Number of sample donors: 333 (sample collection completed)

A networking site for investigators using animal models to study aging, developed to provide a venue for sharing information about research models for aging studies. If you have tissue or data from animal models relevant to aging research that you are willing to share with other investigators, D-SARM allows you to identify the model and provides a secure, blinded email contact for investigators who would like to contact you about acquiring tissue or related resources. Investigators looking for resources from a particular model enter search terms describing the model of interest and then use the provided link to send emails to the contacts (names blinded) listed in the search results to initiate dialog about tissue or resources available for sharing. The database is housed on a secure server and admission to the network is moderated by the NIA Project Officer and limited to investigators at academic, government and non-profit research institutions. The goal is to provide a secure environment for sharing information about models used in aging research, promoting the sharing of resources, facilitating new research on aging in model systems, and increasing the return on the investment in research models.

A collection of blood samples and health information donated by volunteers, not focusing on any specific disease. Unlike many biobanks already in existence at Mayo Clinic and elsewhere, the Mayo Clinic Biobank is NOT focused on any particular disease. Rather, this biobank will collect samples and health information on patients and volunteers regardless of their health history. The only requirement is that they be 18 years of age or older, have a Mayo Clinic number, and be able to give informed consent. Once a participant becomes a part of the Biobank, they will be a part of ongoing health research conducted at Mayo Clinic indefinitely. The Biobank was established at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, and recruitment began in April of 2009. The goal of this project is to enroll 20,000 Mayo Clinic patients over the course of a three-year period in an effort to support a wide array of health-related research studies throughout the Institution.
