Pathophysiology of weight loss in older persons.
It is now well recognized that a physiological anorexia of aging occurs that is associated with gradual weight loss in older persons [1, 2]. A number of epidemiological studies have shown that weight loss in older persons leads to death (fig. 1) [3–6]. In addition, weight loss has been shown to be associated with hip fracture [7]. When an older person develops a disease, the disease interacts w...
متن کاملAnorexia and weight loss in older persons.
UNINTENTIONAL weight loss represents a cardinal symptom of frailty in older persons (1–6). Even a small decline in body mass in older persons is associated with mortality (7). Protein energy malnutrition is associated with anemia, pressure ulcers, sarcopenia, bone loss and hip fractures, declining immune function, impaired immune response to vaccinations, infections, cognitive impairment, funct...
متن کاملThe benefit of hypothermia in experimental ischemic stroke is not affected by pethidine.
BACKGROUND Hypothermia is a promising experimental treatment for acute ischemic stroke. Human trials are still at an early stage, with the focus now on using hypothermia in awake patients. Pethidine (meperidine) is the principle agent used to control shivering in humans; however, whether it has any modulating effects on the neuroprotective efficacy of hypothermia is unknown. AIM The aim of th...
متن کاملPlatelet full length TFPI-α in healthy volunteers is not affected by sex or hormonal use
BACKGROUND Only 10% of plasma TFPIα (TFPI) exists in the full length form, the rest circulates as a C-terminally truncated form. However, blood platelets exclusively contain full length TFPI, which is released at the site of injury upon platelet activation, and which could play an important local regulatory role in thrombin generation and prevention of thrombosis. METHODS The anticoagulant ac...
متن کاملWeight, shape, and mortality risk in older persons: elevated waist-hip ratio, not high body mass index, is associated with a greater risk of death.
BACKGROUND Guidelines for optimal weight in older persons are limited by uncertainty about the ideal body mass index (BMI) or the usefulness of alternative anthropometric measures. OBJECTIVE We investigated the association of BMI (in kg/m(2)), waist circumference, and waist-hip ratio (WHR) with mortality and cause-specific mortality. DESIGN Subjects aged >/=75 y (n = 14 833) from 53 family ...
