TL;DR: In this paper, gender differences in the health status of centenarians are reported, and an innovative score method to classify long-lived people in different health categories, according to clinical and functional parameters, is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a geographic area characterized by extreme longevity in the Sardinia island: the AKEA study.
Michel Poulain,Giovanni Mario Pes,Claude Grasland,Ciriaco Carru,Luigi Ferrucci,Giovannella Baggio,Claudio Franceschi,Luca Deiana +7 more
TL;DR: The extreme longevity index (ELI), defined as the percentage of persons born in Sardinia between 1880 and 1900, who became centenarians, is calculated and the so-called 'Blue Zone', where longevity is concentrated in the central-eastern part of the island and covers all the mountainous areas of central Sardinia, is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Systemic Inflammation Index on Admission Predicts In-Hospital Mortality in COVID-19 Patients.
Alessandro G. Fois,Panagiotis Paliogiannis,Valentina Scano,Stefania Cau,Sergio Babudieri,Roberto Perra,Giulia Ruzzittu,Elisabetta Zinellu,Pietro Pirina,Ciriaco Carru,Luigi B. Arru,Alessandro Fancellu,Michele Mondoni,Arduino A. Mangoni,Angelo Zinellu +14 more
TL;DR: The SII on admission independently predicts in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients and may assist with early risk stratification in this group of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autosomal recessive hypercholesterolaemia in Sardinia, Italy, and mutations in ARH: a clinical and molecular genetic analysis
Marcello Arca,Giovanni Zuliani,Kenneth R. Wilund,Filomena Campagna,Renato Fellin,Stefano Bertolini,Sebastiano Calandra,Giorgio Ricci,Nicola Glorioso,Mario Maioli,Paolo Pintus,Ciriaco Carru,Fausto Cossu,Jonathan Cohen,Helen H. Hobbs +14 more
TL;DR: The small number, high frequency, and dispersed distribution of ARH mutations on Sardinia are consistent with these mutations being ancient and maintained in the Sardinian population because of geographic isolation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and clinical outcomes in COPD: recent evidence and future perspectives.
Panagiotis Paliogiannis,Alessandro G. Fois,Salvatore Sotgia,Arduino A. Mangoni,Elisabetta Zinellu,Pietro Pirina,Silvia Negri,Ciriaco Carru,Angelo Zinellu +8 more
TL;DR: The available evidence from studies investigating the associations between the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, COPD exacerbations and death in this patient group is discussed.
