The normal adult brain undergoes considerable morphological changes with aging. Studying these changes is paramount to differentiate normal age-related brain variations from the effects of neurodegenerative diseases affecting brain structure in the elderly. Considerable progress has been made in this research area during the past few decades, given the

Elders are the fastest growing segment of the American population. In 1900, average life expectancy was 47 years. In the 1990s this figure stood at 78 years (Satcher 1996). Thus, not only are there both a higher percentage and a greater number of elderly individuals, but they are living longer, thus presenting a unique opportunity and challenge for ...

Nutrition, Aging, and the Aged
Medical Clinics of North America, 1983Nutrition plays a significant modulating role in the aging process and is an important component in the health care of the elderly. While considerable study of the nutritional needs of the elderly has been accomplished in recent years, we are as yet very limited in our knowledge and understanding of the nutrient requirements of the elderly, the ...

The escalating interest in research on interventions that may affect aging processes has necessarily focussed attention on the outcome measures. The desirable characteristics of these "biomarker variables" have been widely discussed. This article offers some reflections on validity, reliability, and generalizability of biomarkers. It is argued that our

Social Work Research and Abstracts, 1985 [Cellular ageing, ageing and cancer].
Medecine sciences : M/S, 2007Cellular division is essential for the survival of the multicellular organisms which contain renewable tissues. However, cellular division also puts the organisms in danger to develop any types of cancers. Cellular senescence has emerged in part as a tumor suppressor mechanism.
