| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Alpha-klotho (Klotho) has been identified as a biomarker of aging. Angiopoietin-like protein 2 (Angptl2) has also been identified as an indicator of chronic inflammation. However, evidence for an association between Klotho and Angptl2 with mortality has not been established. We conducted a stratified case-cohort study using data from the NISSIN Project, a prospective cohort study. A total of 2,851 participants aged 64/65 years at baseline formed the original cohort, from 1996 to 2005. A sub-cohort of 714 participants and 374 deaths (88 deaths within the sub-cohort) were analyzed. A weighted Cox proportional hazard model was used to evaluate the association of Klotho and Angptl2 with mortality. The median (25-75 percentile) concentration of Klotho and Angptl2 was 670 (540.0-883.5) pg/mL, 3.76 (3.07-4.57) ng/mL, respectively. There is a positive association between Angptl2 and mortality, whereas no association was found between Klotho and mortality.
