ProtFI, an efficient frailty-trained proteomics-based biomarker of aging, robustly predicts age-related decline
Swier Garst,[...], P Eline Slagboom, Joyce van Meurs | 18-05-2026 | Because individuals age at different rates, robust aging biomarkers are needed beyond chronological age. However, the methodological choices that shape such biomarkers have not been compared in a unified framework. This study addresses [...]
Effects of a Combined Dietary and Physical Activity Intervention on Bone Density, Lean Mass and Fat Mass in Adults: The GOTO Trial
Bogaards FA, Groenendijk I, [...], Slagboom PE | 17-04-2026 | Nutritional weight-loss interventions are known to reduce bone mineral density (BMD), which can be prevented by adding (resistance) exercise training. However, this combined effect is not well studied in non-obese adults. In addition, the [...]
Healthful plant-based diet associates with greater well-being in older adults
A shift towards a more plant-based diet is promoted as healthy as well as sustainable. Whether this also applies to older adults is however less clear: On one hand plant-based diets may lead to energy deficits among vulnerable older adults and therefore negatively impact [...]
1H-NMR metabolomics-based surrogates to impute common clinical risk factors and endpoints
1H-NMR metabolomics-based surrogates to impute common clinical risk factors and endpoints | 2022 Jan;75:103764 | EBioMedicine | doi: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2021.103764 Bizzarri D, Reinders MJT, Beekman M, Slagboom PE, BBMRI-NL, van den Akker EB. Abstract Background: Missing or incomplete phenotypic information can severely deteriorate the statistical power in [...]

Improved selection of participants in genetic longevity studies: family scores revisited
Improved selection of participants in genetic longevity studies: family scores revisited | BMC Medicine | January 2021 Rodriguez-Girondo, M.; Berg, N. van den; Hof, M.H.; Beekman, M.; Slagboom, E. Background: Although human longevity tends to cluster within families, genetic studies on longevity have had limited success in identifying [...]
