Synopsis
The metabolic timecourse of healthy aging is not well-established, in part due to diversity of quantification methodology. This study recruited a large structured cross-sectional cohort throughout adulthood to investigate metabolic changes as a function of age, and applied consensus-recommended quantification methods. Positive age correlations in tCho, tCr, and mI were observed for CSO and PCC, while none was found for tNAA, Glu or Glx in either region. PCC GABA decreased with age, CSO Scyllo increased, and we observed higher PCC Scyllo for female subjects. Our results establish a metabolic timecourse of healthy aging, as a normative foundation for future work.
