Live ASC isolation relative to patient age. (a) ASCs were isolated from 32 patients of different ages (range 26–62 years, average 43.2 ± 9.7). Live ASCs isolated ranged from 0 to 95.5 × 10⁴ cells/g adipose, average 63.8 ± 30.6, with no clear correlation between ASC isolation and patient age. (b) Live cell count was compared relative to patient age across 4 cohort groups: <40 years (N = 12) versus ≥40 years (N = 20); <50 years (N = 23) versus ≥50 years (N = 9); and <40 years (N = 12) versus ≥50 years (N = 9). No significant differences in live ASC isolation were observed between any of the age cohorts; P > 0.05.
