He added that the challenge was to next move beyond this correlative study to figure out how these gene variations may lead to functional changes that contribute to the molecular process of aging.

他补充说，挑战在于这一相关性研究的下一步，即弄清楚这些变异基因如何可能导致分子老化过程的功能性变化。

"Most people when they turn 50 begin to look at forgetfulness with more seriousness," said Dr. Gene Cohen, the director of the Center for Aging, Health and Humanities at George Washington University.

“大多数人们步入50岁后便开始严肃地看待健忘这个问题了，”乔治华盛顿大学人类老化，健康及人类研究中心的吉恩柯翰博士说。
