Optimal Aging with Uncertain Death
This paper extends the theory of optimal aging and death (Dalgaard and Strulik, 2010, 2013) towards uncertain death. Specifically, it is assumed that at any age the probability to survive depends on the number of health deficits accumulated. At the expense of less analytical tractability the model provides a formal description of aging as conceptualized in modern biology, i.e. as an inherently ...
متن کاملThe Role Cognitive Fusion, Social Support and Perception of Aging in Prediction Death Anxiety
Introduction: Elderly is a very important stage in life, and death anxiety is a common feature of the elderly, so it is important to identify the factors that affect death anxiety during this period. Therefore, purpose of this study was to investigate the role cognitive fusion, social support and perception of aging in prediction death anxiety in elderly. Methods: This is a cross-sectional stud...
متن کاملAging and Speech Understanding
As people age, structural as well as neural degeneration occurs throughout the auditory system. Many older adults experience difficulty in understanding speech especially in adverse listening conditions although they can hear speech sounds. According to a report of the Committee on Hearing and Bioacoustics and Biomechanics of the National Research Council, peripheral, central-auditory, and cogn...
متن کاملThe Optimal Fitting Model for Aging-related Receptive Field Size Curve of Macaque V1 Neurons
Visual function in humans degrades during the early stage of senescence beginning from middle 50s to 60s. Generally,it may derive from the general decline of cortex inhibition,which destroys the balance between excitation and inhibition system in the brain.To date, the optimal fitting model of receptive field size curve is not clear during different age groups.To address this issue, firstly,we ...
