    Abstract The molecular mechanisms involved in human aging are complicated. Two progeria syndromes, Werner's syndrome (WS) and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), characterized by clinical features mimicking physiological aging at an early age, provide insights into the mechanisms of natural aging. Based on recent findings on WS and HGPS, we suggest a model of human aging. Human aging can be triggered by two main mechanisms, telomere shortening and DNA damage. In telomere-dependent aging, telomere shortening and dysfunction may lead to DNA damage responses which induce cellular senescence. In DNA damage-initiated aging, DNA damage accumulates, along with DNA repair deficiencies, resulting in genomic instability and accelerated cellular senescence. In addition, aging due to both mechanisms (DNA damage and telomere shortening) is strongly dependent on p53 status. These two mechanisms can also act cooperatively to increase the overall level ofgenomic instability, triggering the onset of human aging phenotypes.

    Abstract Anxiety associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and home confinement has been associated with adverse health behaviors, such as unhealthy eating, smoking, and drinking. However, most studies have been limited by regional sampling, which precludes the examination of behavioral consequences associated with the pandemic at a global level. Further, few studies operationalized pandemic-related stressors to enable the investigation of the impact of different types of stressors on health outcomes. This study examined the association between perceived risk of COVID-19 infection and economic burden of COVID-19 with health-promoting and health-damaging behaviors using data from the PsyCorona Study: an international, longitudinal online study of psychological and behavioral correlates of COVID-19. Analyses utilized data from 7,402 participants from 86 countries across three waves of assessment between May 16 and June 13, 2020. Participants completed self-report measures of COVID-19 infection risk, COVID-19-related economic burden, physical exercise, diet quality, cigarette smoking, sleep quality, and binge drinking. Multilevel structural equation modeling analyses showed that across three time points, perceived economic burden was associated with reduced diet quality and sleep quality, as well as increased smoking. Diet quality and sleep quality were lowest among respondents who perceived high COVID-19 infection risk combined with high economic burden. Neither binge drinking nor exercise were associated with perceived COVID-19 infection risk, economic burden, or their interaction. Findings point to the value of developing interventions to address COVID-related stressors, which have an impact on health behaviors that, in turn, may influence vulnerability to COVID-19 and other health outcomes.

    Abstract Abstract This paper examines whether compliance with COVID-19 mitigation measures is motivated by wanting to save lives or save the economy (or both), and which implications this carries to fight the pandemic. National representative samples were collected from 24 countries (N = 25,435). The main predictors were (1) perceived risk to contract coronavirus, (2) perceived risk to suffer economic losses due to coronavirus, and (3) their interaction effect. Individual and country-level variables were added as covariates in multilevel regression models. We examined compliance with various preventive health behaviors and support for strict containment policies. Results show that perceived economic risk consistently predicted mitigation behavior and policy support—and its effects were positive. Perceived health risk had mixed effects. Only two significant interactions between health and economic risk were identified—both positive.

    Abstract During the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. conservative politicians and the media downplayed the risk of both contracting COVID-19 and the effectiveness of recommended health behaviors. Health behavior theories suggest perceived vulnerability to a health threat and perceived effectiveness of recommended health-protective behaviors determine motivation to follow recommendations. Accordingly, we predicted that—as a result of politicization of the pandemic—politically conservative Americans would be less likely to enact recommended health-protective behaviors. In two longitudinal studies of U.S. residents, political conservatism was inversely associated with perceived health risk and adoption of health-protective behaviors over time. The effects of political orientation on health-protective behaviors were mediated by perceived risk of infection, perceived severity of infection, and perceived effectiveness of the health-protective behaviors. In a global cross-national analysis, effects were stronger in the U.S. (N = 10,923) than in an international sample (total N = 51,986), highlighting the increased and overt politicization of health behaviors in the U.S.

    Abstract A tumorigenic role of the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) has been suggested by our finding of a significant association between increased breast cancer risk and a cooperative effect of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in NHEJ genes. To confirm this finding, this case-control study detected both in vivo and in vitro DNA end-joining (EJ) capacities in Epstein-Barr virus-immortalized peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 112 breast cancer patients and 108 healthy controls to identify individual differences in EJ capacity to repair DSB as a risk factor predisposing women to breast cancer. PBMCs from breast cancer patients consistently showed lower values of in vivo and in vitro EJ capacities than those from healthy women (P < 0.05). Logistic regression, simultaneously considering the effect of known risk factors of breast cancer, shows that the in vitro EJ capacity above the median of control subjects was associated with nearly 3-fold increased risks for breast cancer (adjusted odds ratio, 2.98; 95% confidence interval, 1.64-5.43). Furthermore, a dose-response relationship was evident between risk for breast cancer and EJ capacity, which was analyzed as a continuous variable (every unit decrease of EJ capacity being associated with an 1.09-fold increase of breast cancer risk) and was divided into tertiles based on the EJ capacity values of the controls (P for trend < 0.01). The findings support the conclusion that NHEJ may play a role in susceptibility to breast cancer.

    Abstract Some public officials have expressed concern that policies mandating collective public health behaviors (e.g., national/regional "lockdown") may result in behavioral fatigue that ultimately renders such policies ineffective. Boredom, specifically, has been singled out as one potential risk factor for noncompliance. We examined whether there was empirical evidence to support this concern during the COVID-19 pandemic in a large cross-national sample of 63,336 community respondents from 116 countries. Although boredom was higher in countries with more COVID-19 cases and in countries that instituted more stringent lockdowns, such boredom did not predict longitudinal within-person decreases in social distancing behavior (or vice versa; n = 8,031) in early spring and summer of 2020. Overall, we found little evidence that changes in boredom predict individual public health behaviors (handwashing, staying home, self-quarantining, and avoiding crowds) over time, or that such behaviors had any reliable longitudinal effects on boredom itself. In summary, contrary to concerns, we found little evidence that boredom posed a public health risk during lockdown and quarantine.

    Abstract The high risk of developing cancer seen in human genetic diseases that resemble accelerated aging provides support for a tumorigenic contribution of the mechanisms and genes responsible for regulating life span and aging. We therefore speculated that the WRN gene (encoding RECQL2, a DNA helicase), the germline mutation of which causes the progeroid disorder Werner syndrome, may be associated with breast tumorigenesis. This hypothesis was tested in this case-control study of 935 primary breast cancer patients and 1,545 healthy controls by examining single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in WRN. We were also interested in knowing whether any identified association between WRN and breast cancer was modified by reproductive risk factors reflecting susceptibility to estrogen exposure. Our hypothesis is that because estrogen is known to promote breast cancer development via its mitogenic effect leading to cell proliferation, and because WRN is an essential gene, as its suboptimal function leads to a severe decrease in proliferation, estrogen stimulation may have a protective effect on cells harboring variant WRN, allowing them to survive and proliferate for the prolonged period needed for tumor formation. Support for this hypothesis came from the following observations: (a) one SNP in WRN was significantly associated with breast cancer risk (P = 0.002); (b) haplotype and diplotype analyses, based on different combinations of multiple SNPs in WRN, revealed a strong association with breast cancer risk; (c) this association between risk and putative high-risk genotypes was stronger and more significant in women with a longer interval between menarche and first full-term pregnancy; and (d) the protective effect conferred by having a higher number of full-term pregnancy was only significant in women with homozygous or heterozygous wild-type WRN genotypes. This study provides support for the tumorigenic role of WRN in breast cancer development, suggesting that breast cancer can be driven by the aging associated with variant WRN, the tumorigenic contribution of which might be enhanced as a result of increased cell growth due to estrogen exposure.
