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.

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 ...

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

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.

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.

Although the fundamental mechanisms of in vitro cell aging are still undetermined, certain prominent features have emerged that serve to delineate or focus the search for these mechanisms. In Table 3.1 we present a selected list of changes that accompany senescence in culture.

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.
