Functional decline in old age.
Functional decline is a common condition, occurring each year in nearly 12% of Canadians 75 years of age and older. The model of functional health proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) represents a useful theoretical framework and is the basis for the SMAF (Système de measure de l'autonomie fonctionelle or Functional Autonomy Measurement System), an instrument that measures functional...
متن کاملIron Accumulation with Age, Oxidative Stress and Functional Decline
Identification of biological mediators in sarcopenia is pertinent to the development of targeted interventions to alleviate this condition. Iron is recognized as a potent pro-oxidant and a catalyst for the formation of reactive oxygen species in biological systems. It is well accepted that iron accumulates with senescence in several organs, but little is known about iron accumulation in muscle ...
متن کاملFunctional differentiation of normal human neutrophils.
In the past differentiation of human neutrophils has been defined by morphology, cytochemistry, or surface markers. In our experiments we have sequenced the various events that occur during the functional differentiation of the normal human neutrophil and have also examined some of the functional properties in relationship to surface markers and biochemical events. Granulocytes were obtained fr...
متن کاملDecline and Fall of Activity with Age
Ages for the components of binary stars are calculated from measurements of their chromospheric activity using the HK spectrophotometer at Mount Wil-son Observatory. Binaries are useful for age calibration because bright open clusters spanning the entire solar Main Sequence lifetime are not readily available, and also because age determinations using moving groups are comparatively uncertain ow...
متن کاملGlutathione in human plasma: decline in association with aging, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetes.
Blood samples were analyzed for GSH and GSH redox state in 40 age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) patients (> 60 y), 33 non-ARMD diabetic patients (> 60 years), 27 similarly aged non-ARMD and nondiabetic individuals (> 60 years), and 19 younger individuals (< 60 years) without ARMD or diabetes. Results showed a significantly lower plasma GSH in older individuals (ARMD, diabetes, and control...
