Influence of age and sex on longitudinal metabolic profiles and body weight trajectories in the UK Biobank.

Published in: International journal of epidemiology (2024)

We report longitudinal ageing trends for 220 metabolic measures in absolute concentrations, many of which have not been described for older individuals before. Our results also revealed a fundamental dynamic sex divergence that we speculate is caused by menopause-driven metabolic deterioration in women.
