Comparative Biology of Aging presents trends found in comparative studies of aging. The Evolutionary Theory of Aging debates the models and hypotheses put forward to explain how aging evolved. [senescence.info]

In the present chapter, we present a brief overview of these studies and discuss their contributions toward our understanding of the importance of miRNAs in normal and aged stem cell function in various model systems. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Falling

  BACKGROUND: Falls in older adults with cancer are common, yet factors associated with fall-risk are not well-defined and may differ from the general geriatric population. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Many `snowball' effects fall into this category. [longevity-science.org]

  They are less able to protect themselves during falls. They are more likely to have side effects of drugs (such as drowsiness, loss of balance, and dizziness), which can make falls more likely. [merckmanuals.com]

• Weight Gain

  Calories: As people age, they tend to be less active and thus use less energy, making it easier to gain weight. If they try to consume fewer calories to avoid weight gain, they may not get all the nutrients needed—particularly vitamins and minerals. [merckmanuals.com]

  Professor Francesco Cappuccio says: “Short sleep has been shown to be a risk factor for weight gain, hypertension and Type 2 diabetes sometimes leading to mortality but in contrast to the short sleep-mortality association it appears that no potential [www2.warwick.ac.uk]

  Patients were classified as substantial weight losers (lost ≥5kg), weight gainers (gained ≥5kg), or weight stable (loss or gain Empirical models for exclusions To identify groups most susceptible to prior weight loss, we tested associations with 15 major [doi.org]

• Gagging

  In order to withstand compressive forces human skin relies on hydrophilic glycosaminglycans (GAGs) including dermatan, chondroitin, heparin and keratin sulphate [ 25, 26 ]. [doi.org]

• Osteophyte

  Zenker's diverticulum and cervical osteophytes are conditions that uniquely produce oropharyngeal symptoms in older adults. [ajpgi.physiology.org]

• Hearing Impairment

  Introduction: The relationship between cognition and the ability to hear is well known. Due to changes in demographics, the number of people with sensorineural hearing loss and cognitive impairment is increasing. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Esophageal Motility Disorder

  Primary esophageal motility disorders associated with clinical complaints of dysphagia would include achalasia, diffuse esophageal spasm, “nutcracker” esophagus, and other nonspecific esophageal motor disorders, which would include primarily ineffective [ajpgi.physiology.org]

Doctors Give Medicare’s Proposal To Pay For Telemedicine Poor Prognosis By Phil Galewitz October 10, 2018 Federal officials are proposing that Medicare pay doctors for a 10-minute “check-in” call with beneficiaries. [khn.org]

Aging individuals can develop generalized, exquisitely-pruritic, eczematous eruptions of uncertain etiology that can be therapeutically-refractory and life-altering. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Introduction Among those with depression, it is older adults who are most likely to attempt and complete suicide.[ 1 ] The role of concomitant physical disease, and the etiology of depression among seniors are poorly understood and confusing. [doi.org]

Tetraploidy, a condition in which a cell has four homologous sets of chromosomes, is often seen as a natural physiological condition but is also frequently seen in pathophysiological conditions such as cancer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
