Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2011
Many psychosocial factors have been associated with successful aging. The impact of social relationships, personality factors, self-perceptions,and religiosity/spirituality is reviewed in this article and recommendations for enhancing psychological aging are provided.

Decision making and age: Factors influencing decision making under uncertainty
Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics, 2018In the present study, we investigate how decision making under uncertainty is affected by age. We ran two experiments with young and older adults, systematically manipulating (1) uncertainty conditions (risk and ambiguity), (2) feedback on decisions and (

Experimental Gerontology, 2008
With advancing age, an increasing number of healthy individuals have laboratory signs of heightened coagulation enzyme activity. Such biochemical hypercoagulability might be the basis of either the increased thrombotic tendency occurring with age or a harmless manifestation of this process.

The Age Factor in Hypertension
Hospital Practice, 1986Hypertension in the elderly is not a compensatory phenomenon to offset the decline in organ perfusion that occurs with age. Rather, superimposition of hypertension on aging apparently leads to increased damage in the target organs: brain, heart, and kidneys.

Journal of Forensic Nursing, 2005
Homicide is a topic of interest not only because of its severity but because it is a fairly reliable barometer of all violent crime, especially as it affects women. This exploratory study compared a group of murdered women over age 60 with a group of murdered women 30-59 and included age-based factors for both groups. Discussion focuses on forensics as

Genetic factors in immunity and aging
Vaccine, 2000Maximum life span is controlled by genes that regulate molecular mechanisms accounting for the synchrony of structural and functional changes in different cells and tissues of each member of a given species. The role of immune response genes was investigated in aging mice genetically selected for high (H) or low (L) antibody response (Biozzi mice ...

1971
Publisher Summary This chapter reviews that aging has two rather distinct components: The “nuisance” factor and the mortality factor, resulting from the development of degenerative diseases. Diseases, such as arthritis, obviously have components of each. Both result at least in part from mutations in somatic cells.

Etiological Factors and Premature Aging
JAMA, 1962AGING IS an interesting subject which is receiving increasing attention in many fields. There is an ever-enlarging body of information which indicates that many of the phenomena which were previously regarded as "natural" processes resulting from old age are actually due to specific disease processes.

Psychosocial factors in healthy ageing
Psychology & Health, 2015While many people will function well and live independently into advanced old age, major acute health events, chronic disease and disability are prevalent in later life.

Growth factors and muscle ageing
Experimental Gerontology, 2004Loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) is one of the main problems associated with ageing as it has major health care as well as socioeconomic implications. The growth hormone (GH)/IGF-I axis is regarded as an important regulator of muscle mass. However, it is now appreciated that other tissues in addition to the liver express IGF-I and that there are local ...
