Important new @UKHSA report today sheds light on key Omicron concerns
assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
1. BA.2 Vaccine effectiveness holds up very well compared with BA.1 *with booster*
2. The vaccine effectiveness (VE) vs Omicron symptomatic infection vs Omicron falls off 15+ weeks, as was seen with the Israeli data, here more so with Pfizer compared to Moderna
3. But protection (VE) vs Omicron hospitalization remains quite high (Moderna > 90% thru 9 weeks)
4. First read out for VE vs Omicron fatality, in age 50+
95% with booster (59% without)
5. Summary data for VE vs Omicron over time for each outcome strongly reinforces the booster/Dose 3 impact and the high level of protection maintained vs hospitalization out to 6 months👍

As I wrote in SUPER AGERS, the immune system is the key to modulating our aging process and the opportunity to extend healthspan. Today @NatureAging 7 new articles, summarized here, that reinforce its central role

We've learned a lot more about the principal drivers of age-related diseases in the past few weeks. And that leads to a unified model to pull it all together. (open-access) Image
I review 4 new reports, summarized here:
1. The proteins from senescent cells predict age-related clinical outcomes
2. A new epigenetic age clock connects the dots between aging, the immune system, inflammation and lifestyle factors
3. People with a fast pace of aging had an increased risk of cognitive impairment, age-related diseases, disability, and mortality
4. The Importance of “Immune Resilience” for Healthspan
And present a unified I/I model for what we now know Image

Most people haven’t heard of this test, which is available in the US. It accurately predicts Alzheimer’s (not just if there’s a risk, but when). It is favorably affected by exercise and likely many other lifestyle factors.
Here’s (almost) everything we know about it. In Ground Truths (link in my profile d/t X-suppression)Image
