Mus musculus (AnAge)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Both mean and maximum lifespan are reduced in nfkb1-/- mice. The reduction in lifespan is also acompanied by multiple signs of premature ageing (hair loss or early greying, scruffy fur and cachexia, skin inflammation and delayed wound healing, thinning of the epidermis, lost neuromuscular coordination, premature body mass loss and loss of fat from inguinal, epididymal and mesenteric depots).
% change in avg or median lifespan
Median lifespan is approximately 33% lower.
