Factors associated with three commonly-used back function tests and muscle morphology based on magnetic resonance images of the back muscles were investigated in 65 pairs of monozygotic male twins, aged 35 to 67. The isokinetic lifting test results had low correlations with psychophysical lifting (p = 0.30) and static back endurance (p = 0.30), and the latter two were unrelated. The cross-sectional areas of the erector spinae, quadratus lumborum, and psoas major muscles were moderately correlated with isokinetic lifting strength (p = 0.46 to 0.53), but did not correlate well with psychophysical lifting and static back muscle endurance. The signal intensities of the muscles had poor correlations with the back function tests (p ≤ 0.20). None of the imaging measures or the back function tests was useful as a predictor of future low back pain over 12 months of follow-up, in the 43 men who reported no low back pain in the year preceding testing. A combination of genetics and shared childhood environment played a dominant role in determining back muscle cross-sectional area and the functional capabilities of the back, explaining as much as 73% of the variance; physical loading, back pain history, overall health, and anthropometric data had a comparatively minor role. The major role of familial aggregation suggests that in healthy adults, the potential of interventions to increase and sustain back function, as evaluated by the three tests or by muscle morphology based on magnetic resonance images may be limited, without marked long-term lifestyle changes.

Blood and skeletal muscle ageing determined by epigenetic clocks and their associations with physical activity and functioning
Sillanpää, Elina; Heikkinen, Aino; Kankaanpää, Anna; Paavilainen, Aini; Kujala, Urho M.; Tammelin, Tuija H.; Kovanen, Vuokko; Sipilä, Sarianna; Pietiläinen, Kirsi H.; Kaprio, Jaakko; Ollikainen, Miina; Laakkonen, Eija K. (Biomed Central, 2021)The aim of this study was to investigate the correspondence of different biological ageing estimates (i.e. epigenetic age) in blood and muscle tissue and their associations with physical activity (PA), physical function ... -
Determinants of adult psychomotor speed : a study of monozygotic twins
Simonen, Riitta (1997)The determinants of hand and foot psychomotor speed were investigated in monozygotic twins 35 to 69 years of age. First, the reliability study was conducted to investigate the consistency of the reaction time measurements ... -
Biological clocks and physical functioning in monozygotic female twins
Sillanpää, Elina; Laakkonen, Eija; Vaara, Elina; Rantanen, Taina; Kovanen, Vuokko; Sipilä, Sarianna; Kaprio, Jaakko; Ollikainen, Miina (BioMed Central Ltd., 2018)Background: Biomarkers of biological aging – DNA methylation age (DNAm age) and leukocyte telomere length (LTL)– correlate strongly with chronological age across the life course. It is, however, unclear how these measures ... -
Resting-state functional connectivity in reading-related brain regions : a meg study in monozygotic twins
Ankkuriniemi, Oskar; Kuusisto, Petrus (2023)Reading requires functional interaction between distinct reading-related regions located in the frontal and posterior parts of the left hemisphere. Abnormalities in the functional connectivity among these regions have been ... -
