- Study Design
- 354 individuals (18 - 95 years, mean age 55.35 ± 19.16 y; 175 females (20–95 years, mean age 55.44 ± 19.15 years) and 179 males (18–92 years, mean age 55.27 ± 19.22 years) were classified into four age groups as 20–40, 41–60, 61–80, >80. Then, IL-6 and MT2A polymorphisms were genotyped for longevity association study.
- Conclusions
- MT2A polymorphism was statistically analyzed in according to age groups and significant association was detected (p < 0.05). MT2A −5 G− carriers are more advantageous for longevity.
