Technology can play a role in staying independent, active and healthy. However, the use of technology varies considerably among older adults. Previous research indicates that current models of ... ... hiện toàn bộ

Obesity, Inflammation, and Insulin Resistance – A Mini-ReviewThe association of obesity, insulin resistance, and chronic low-grade inflammation has been evident for several years by now. Since obesity, insulin resistance, and inflammation all are related to aging as well, the mechanisms underlying this association are of critical importance for gerontology. Although several molecular and cellular mechanisms by which inflammatory events decrease the ... ... hiện toàn bộ

Older Adults, Chronic Disease and Leisure-Time Physical Activity<i>Background:</i> Participating in regular physical activity is an important part of healthy aging. There is an increased risk for inactivity associated with aging and the risk becomes greater for adults who have a chronic disease. However, there is limited information on current physical activity levels for older adults and even less for those with chronic diseases. <i>... ... hiện toàn bộ

Correlates of Cognitive Function in Middle-Aged AdultsThe Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study administered cognitive function tests to more than 14,000 middle-aged adults in 1990–1992. The battery included the Delayed Word Recall test, the Digit Symbol Subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised, and the Controlled Oral Word Association (Word Fluency) test. Test performance was correlated positively with education level, ne... ... hiện toàn bộ

Age-Dependent Changes in Temperature Regulation – A Mini ReviewIt is now well recognized that the body temperature of older men and women is lower than that of younger people and that their tolerance of thermal extremes is more limited. The regulation of body temperature does not depend on a single organ, but rather involves almost all the systems of the body, i.e. systems not exclusively dedicated to thermoregulatory functions such as the cardiovascu... ... hiện toàn bộ

Age Changes in the Human Kidney of the Different RacesComparative study has been made histologically and micrometrically on the senile changes of the kidney between Caucasians and Japanese. In both races, weight loss of the kidney, decrease in number of the parenchymal cells and tendency to increase in size of the cells were considered to be main characteristics of the senile changes, but in the process of the senile changes some differences ... ... hiện toàn bộ

Apoptosis in Skeletal Myocytes: A Potential Target for Interventions against Sarcopenia and Physical Frailty – A Mini-Review<i>Background:</i> Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and function, represents a relevant public health issue due to its high prevalence and detrimental consequences. While the exact mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of sarcopenia are not clear, growing experimental evidence indicates that progressive myonuclear elimination over the course of aging via an apop... ... hiện toàn bộ

The RANKL-RANK StoryReceptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK) and its ligand (RANKL) have originally been described for their key roles in bone metabolism and the immune system. Subsequently, it has been shown that the RANKL-RANK system is critical in the formation of mammary epithelia in lactating females and the thermoregulation of the central nervous system. RANKL and RANK are under the tight control ... ... hiện toàn bộ
