Differences in suicide between the old and the oldest old.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of our study is to examine suicide trends among the old (65-79 years) and oldest old (80+ years). METHODS All persons aged 50 or older who committed suicide in Denmark during 1972-1998 are included in the analysis. Suicide trends are analyzed by sex, age, civil status, and methods. Age, period, and cohort effects are examined graphically. RESULTS In all, 17,729 person...
متن کاملHip structural geometry in old and old-old age: similarities and differences between men and women.
INTRODUCTION Changes in hip structure and geometry during aging contribute to decreased bone strength. Little is known, however, about these characteristics at advanced age, when fragility fractures are common. We examined hip structural geometry in men and women of old age (72-84 years) and old-old age (85-96 years) to determine (1) gender differences; (2) whether or not these differences are ...
متن کاملScotopic spatiotemporal sensitivity differences between young and old adults.
BACKGROUND Our lab has previously demonstrated losses in contrast sensitivity to low spatial frequencies under scotopic conditions with older adults. It is not clear, however, whether the temporal frequency of a stimulus alters the relation between age and the spatial contrast sensitivity function (sCSF) under scotopic conditions. METHODS A maximum-likelihood, two-alternative, temporal forced...
متن کاملText comprehension products and processes in young, young-old, and old-old adults.
Aging may be associated with an increase in generalized text processing, particularly in adults older than 75 years. The current study examined text comprehension in young, young-old, and old-old adults. Experiment 1 included a comprehension measure (product) and Experiment 2 examined inferences generated during reading (process). Comprehension scores were lowest in old-old adults. Generalized ...
متن کاملTiming of reflexive visuospatial orienting in young, young-old, and old-old adults.
This study examined adult age differences in reflexive orienting to two types of uninformative spatial cues: central arrows and peripheral onsets. In two experiments using a Posner cuing task, young adults (ages 18-28 years), young-old adults (60-74 years), and old-old adults (75-92 years) responded to targets that were preceded 100-1,000 ms earlier by a central arrow or a peripheral abrupt ons...
