Compare ARREST.

    At best, they’re telling you something about a very small aspect of aging, for example, grip strength is also a biological age predictor, how active you are is a predictor, and we all know people who fall apart physically but are cognitively all there, so you also need to test cognitive aging.

  5. Frank Pope:

    Any time you get people who are hungry and without other options you've got a security situation. ( In) Northern Kenya we're bordered by South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Somalia, all of which are still in the grip of conflict that spews small arms into this ecosystem, so you've got a lot of weapons up here and increasing hunger so, yeah, I'd say that's an increasing security concern.
