[0123] Determination of key age-related biomarkers

[0124] Applicants performed the primary statistical analysis on biomarker data obtained from healthy dogs from the primary network of Primary Care Veterinary Hospitals Network (Banfield Veterinary Hospitals). Only test results for "standard panel" are included. Other autonomous tests (i.e., tests outside of the standard panel) are often from animals with underlying medical conditions that could affect a particular analyte and were therefore excluded because they would provide reliability of trend information lower source.

[0125] Any tests that were not numerical or binary / binary in nature (i.e., only a single result value would be considered a "normal" result) were also excluded, as these were not considered useful for the purpose of discovering trends in underlying healthy populations .

[0126] The following list of analytes remained in the study after exclusion of the above (i.e. non-standard panel tests and non-nu...

Abstract

A method for determining the biological age or pace of aging of an adult dog, said method comprising determining the levels of one or more biomarkers selected from the group consisting of (1) blood globulin levels, (2) blood total protein, (3) blood alkaline phosphatase, (4) blood platelet count, (5) blood mean corpuscular volume or (6) urine specific gravity, comparing the results with values obtained from healthy dogs of a known age and of a similar category (toy, small, medium, large or giant). Kits, systems and/or computer media for carrying out the method form further aspects of the invention.

Description

[0001] Related Application Cross Reference [0002] This application claims priority to UK Patent Application No. GB ​​1802757.3, filed 21 February 2018, and GB 1809447.4, filed 08 June 2018, both of which are incorporated by reference for any and all purposes The entire content is incorporated here. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to methods for determining the biological age of dogs and for determining the pace of aging in dogs, as well as systems and / or media for performing such methods. Background technique [0004] As Karasik D. et al., The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences. 2005 May 1; 60(5): 574-87 (The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences. 2005 May 1; 60(5):574-87), biological age estimates an individual's functional status compared to other individuals of the same chronological age (based on clinical biochemical and cell biological measures). Different rates of a...
