AGING AND CHANGES IN AUDIOGRAM

Changes in the muscle strength and functional performance of healthy women with aging

 Background: Lower limbs antigravity muscles weakness and decreased functional ability have significant role in falling. The aim of this study was to find the effects of aging on muscle strength and functional ability, determining the range of decreasing strength and functional ability and relationship between them in healthy women. Methods: Across-section study was performed on 101 healthy wom...

Muscle Changes in Aging

UNLABELLED Muscle physiology in the aging athlete is complex. Sarcopenia, the age-related decrease in lean muscle mass, can alter activity level and affect quality of life. This review addresses the microscopic and macroscopic changes in muscle with age, recognizes contributing factors including nutrition and changes in hormone levels, and identifies potential pharmacologic agents in clinical t...

Motor and cognitive changes in normal aging

In a recent study, Cid-Fernandez et al. (2014) tested attentional performance in 3 age groups: young (21–29 years old), middle-aged (51–64 years old), and older adults (65–84 years old). The task used in this study involved presenting both visual and auditory cues to the participants, and they were required to pay attention to the visual cues while ignoring the auditory cues (for task details, ...

Cognitive and olfactory changes in aging

Osteocyte density changes in aging and osteoporosis.

Recently, it was suggested that osteocytes are involved in the regulation of bone remodeling. We have examined human trabecular bone of the iliac crest of fracture patients and control subjects to determine if osteoporosis is associated with changes in osteocyte density or osteocyte death. The relationships of these parameters with age was also investigated. It was found that osteocyte death wa...
