Dynamics of cognitive aging: distinguishing functional age and disease from chronologic age in a population.
This paper introduces a methodological approach to the dynamics of cognitively normal (i.e., successful) aging compared with aging accompanied by different types of cognitive impairment and dementia. Using secondary analysis of a national representative database (Canadian Study of Health and Aging, 1991-1992), the authors show that the occurrence of an adverse event (symptom, sign, or disease),...
متن کاملSome Properties of Generalized Age-Distribution Equations in Fluid Dynamics
The concept of age in fluid dynamics is analyzed in the case of a tracer advectiondiffusion equation. From the general solution in a uniform velocity field, it is shown that unexpected symmetry properties arise for the age field. In particular, for a point release, the age field is isotropic, regardless of the direction of the flow and the value of the diffusion coefficient. The analysis is the...
متن کاملAge distribution dynamics with stochastic jumps in mortality.
While deterministic age distribution models have been extensively studied and applied in various disciplines, little work has been devoted to understanding the role of stochasticity in birth and mortality terms. In this paper, we analyse a stochastic M'Kendrick-von Foerster equation in which jumps in mortality represent intense losses of population due to external events. We present explicit so...
متن کاملAging and Spin-glass Dynamics
We survey the recent mathematical results about aging in certain simple disordered models. We start by the Bouchaud trap model. We then survey the results obtained for simple models of spin-glass dynamics, like the REM (the Random Energy Model, which is well approximated by the Bouchaud model on the complete graph), then the spherical Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. We will insist on the differe...
