Human Longevity: Epigenetics• Genes account for only about 25% of
what determines human longevity– Heritability of Human Longevity Twin Studies
Coefficient of heritability
• McGue et al (1993) 0.22
• Herskind et al (1996) 0.25
• Ljungquist et al (1998) <0.33
• Much more determined by epigenetic factors including outlook & lifestyle

Attitude to Aging Affects Longevity
Levy (2002): 660 50+ y Ohio Longitudinal Study of Ageing & Retirement Longevity associated with positive self-perceptions of aging, measured up to 23 years earlierIncreased longevity by 7.5 years– Controlled for other health factors
– Greater impact than low systolic blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI (1-3 years); no history of smoking, tendency to exercise (1-4 years)

Physical Activity
• Best promoter of brain neuroplasticity across lifespan is physical activity
• All forms of physical activity help:–Mild to vigorous– Strength or cardiovascular–Avoidance of sedentary behaviors
• Exercise of significant benefit esp. in mild - moderate depression

Neuroplasticity: Cognitive Activity
• Cognitive activity promotes plasticity
• Higher education lowers risk of dementia
• Complex, novel activities most helpful
Can cognitive activity treat MCI?...

Harvard Resilience Study
• 724 subjects followed over 75 years
• 60 of original subjects still alive and participating in their 90’s
• 2 groups: Harvard sophomores and young adults from poorest Boston neighborhoods
• At age 50, secure relationships were the single most predictive variable related to well-being over 25 years regardless of socioeconomic background Robert Waldinger et al, 2015 J Psych of Aging

“ Lets start with a baseline to see where you feel your overall health is now....(Give FOH Quiz)....”
“Based on your questionnaire results, it looks like being (physically active) is an area you could do more in to improve your health.”
N. “Would you like to set one small goal in that area to work on for next time?”

FoH Knowledge Transfer Study FoH Handbook
Knowledge: 74 clinicians had FoH education: Sign. difference pre-post knowledge
Transfer to practice: 23 given FoH Handbooks:
– QA Questionnaire at 2 mo follow up: 19/ 23 (83% return rate): 100% recommended to colleague
– Tracking sheets: 11/23 (50% return rate) reached 102 patients; 60 (60%) patients set specific goal

Knowledge Translation StudyFoH Clinician Guide Pilot
Knowledge Translation to Practice:
Clinicians (N=7) reported improvement in application of FoH information
– All rated FoH tools somewhat- very useful (used FoHHandbook most) & all recommended to colleague
Used Guide to reach 71 patients:
– Most goals (N=34; 47.8%) related to physical activity
– Over half of patients completely reached (N=34; 47.8%) or exceeded (N=11; 15.5%) goal

FoH Community Series
• FoH 6 weeks community workshop series: • Run by senior peer- leaders • Powerpoints with speakers’ notes
• Dovetails with CMHA’s “Living Life to the Full”• Can also be run by allied health/ other professionals
• 6 groups (N=51)• Quality assurance measures:
• Statistically significant improvements in awareness, knowledge and application of knowledge in daily life.
• Self-perceptions of aging scores increased
