A potential new biological marker of the biological age
between the nature of the brain damage in the aging process (in the case of dementia or even in outwardly healthy elderly people) and the brain damage caused by prion diseases of humans and animals (Sobel, 1970; Fraser and McBride, 1985; Masters et al., 1985; Gajdusek, 1988).

متن کاملAging, frailty, and chemotherapy.
BACKGROUND In many cases, elderly individuals have not been offered life-saving interventions due to the assumption that these treatments would be too toxic to tolerate. METHODS This article offers an overview of the biology of aging, reviews the assessment of an individual's physiologic age, and explores the medical definition of frailty and its implications in cancer treatment.

متن کاملBody composition as a frailty marker for the elderly community
BACKGROUND Body composition (BC) in the elderly has been associated with diseases and mortality; however, there is a shortage of data on frailty in the elderly.
