Body composition in healthy aging.
Health risks in elderly people cannot be evaluated simply in conventional terms of body fatness or fat distribution. Elderly people have less muscle and bone mass, expanded extracellular fluid volumes, and reduced body cell mass compared to younger adults. These nonfat components of body composition play critical roles, influencing cognitive and physical functional status, nutritional and endoc...
متن کاملHealthy Aging as Disease?
In the scientific and popular literature recently there has been a widespread call for classifying normal aging as a disease, a condition that can be “manipulated, treated, and delayed” (Gems, 2010; Kelland, 2010). The main argument given by supporters of this suggestion is that grant-awarding bodies would be more likely to fund research into how, when, and why we age, and that doctors would be...
متن کاملLower Resting Metabolic Rate and Basal Body Temperature of Fibromyalgia Patients Compared to Matched Healthy Controls
Introduction. All symptoms and most objectively verified abnormalities of fibromyalgia are common among patients with hypothyroidism or partial peripheral thyroid hormone resistance. In treatment trials, thyroid hormone therapy has reduced or eliminated fibromyalgia symptoms, and a long-term follow-up study showed that improvement with thyroid hormone therapy lasted 1-to-5 years. In a previous ...
متن کاملCentenarians as a model for healthy aging.
For over 10 years we have studied centenarians as a model to address the biological basis of aging and longevity, with particular attention to immunology and genetics. The most important findings can be summarized as follows. (i) Human immunosenescence represents a complex remodelling, whereby clonotypical immunity deteriorates, while ancestral, innate immunity is largely preserved. (ii) Contin...
متن کاملBasal forebrain integrity and cognitive memory profile in healthy aging.
Age-related dysfunctions in cholinergic and dopaminergic neuromodulation are assumed to contribute to age-associated impairment of explicit memory. Both neurotransmitters also modulate attention, working memory, and processing speed. To date, in vivo evidence linking structural age-related changes in these neuromodulatory systems to dysfunction within or across these cognitive domains remains s...
