One of the clinically meaningful findings of his study was that, despite the large number of total SASP proteins identified, a relatively small panel of these also robustly predicted a set of age- and obesity-associated clinical outcomes, including inflammation (IL6, CRP), lipids (HDL, LDL), glucose (A1c, fasting glucose), blood pressure, walking speed and pace, and BMI. This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and obesity disorder.
