I suggest that “visual appearance” be included in Anti-Aging Medicine as one of its fields. It is easier to understand “visual appearance” by examining its three components: the physical constitution, appearance, and skin. Morphological changes are the simplest index to assess the level of aging. As we become older: our height decreases; face becomes smaller; and the number of wrinkles increase...

Ageing population in Australia is exerting unprecedented changes in housing demand, location of housing and appropriate dwelling types. Availability of suitable, comfortable, affordable and accessible housing is important for older people, and will be a priority as the population in Australia ages. Current planning policy settings and reliance on market forces for housing provision is unlikely ...

Two experiments were conducted with younger and older speakers. In Experiment 1, participants named single objects that were intact or visually degraded, while hearing distractor words that were phonologically related or unrelated to the object name. In both younger and older participants naming latencies were shorter for intact than for degraded objects and shorter when related than when unrel...

BACKGROUND Biomarkers of biological aging - DNA methylation age (DNAm age) and leukocyte telomere length (LTL)- correlate strongly with chronological age across the life course. It is, however, unclear how these measures of cellular wear and tear are associated with muscle strength and functional capacity, which are known to decline with older age and are associated with mortality. We investiga...

Aging is a programmed physiological process, while the aging rate can be different, and can even be controlled. Currently, antiaging medicine solves the issues of increasing the duration, quality of life and slowing down the internal aging processes. Recently, along with the traditional physical exercises in people of different ages, the physiological effects of Whole Body Vibration (WBV) train...

The aging process is associated with progressive loss of muscle mass and strength, as well as decline in physical functioning. Although consensus diagnosis has not been reached, sarcopenia is increasingly defined by both loss of muscle mass and loss of muscle function or strength. The cause of sarcopenia is suggested as multifactorial, including hormonal changes, inflammatory pathway activation...

The loss of protein homeostasis that has been associated with aging leads to altered levels and conformational instability of proteins, which tend to form toxic aggregates. In particular, brain aging presents characteristic patterns of misfolded oligomers, primarily constituted of β-amyloid (Aβ), tau, and α-synuclein (α-syn), which can accumulate in neuronal membranes or extracellular compartme...

BACKGROUND Increases in life expectancy make it important to remain healthy for as long as possible. Our objective was to examine the extent to which healthy behaviours in midlife, separately and in combination, predict successful aging. METHODS We used a prospective cohort design involving 5100 men and women aged 42-63 years. Participants were free of cancer, coronary artery disease and stro...

In this article, the authors consider the different approaches that can be used to examine the relationship between physical activity and aging. They propose that much is to be gained in our awareness of this dynamic relationship by drawing on multiple forms of knowledge that can generate diverse understandings regarding the impact of physical activity on physiological, psychological, and socia...
