Chronological and biological age

Experimental Gerontology, 1984
Resuming the thread of previous studies, this paper reports a new method of assessing biological age with the inclusion of physical, psychical, and social parameters. The suitability of the method was tested on a total of three hundred and sixty-five subjects.

Chronologic Aging in Black Skin

The American Journal of Dermatopathology, 1989
Histologic studies examining chronologic aging in skin have been confined to white skin. In the present study, we examined the features of sun-protected black skin from individuals 6 weeks to 75 years of age with light and electron microscopy. With age, the dermoepidermal junction became flattened with multiple zones of basal lamina and anchoring ...

Functional vs chronologic age

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1987
Chronologic age, by itself, is seldom a reliable index of an individual's ability to perform strenuous physical work. Therefore, age should not be viewed as a bona fide occupational qualification. Instead, each individual should be judged on the basis of his or her functional capabilities.

Chronological and biological age in HIV infection

Journal of Infection, 2010
Several studies have so far documented the dramatic impact of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in improving survival estimates of HIV-infected patients. Within such a scenario, the growing impact of cardiovascular disease and accelerated biological aging is of particular concern.

Mechanisms of Photoaging and Chronological Skin Aging

Archives of Dermatology, 2002
Human skin, like all other organs, undergoes chronological aging. In addition, unlike other organs, skin is in direct contact with the environment and therefore undergoes aging as a consequence of environmental damage. The primary environmental factor that causes human skin aging is UV irradiation from the sun. This sun-induced skin aging (photoaging),

Ear size as a predictor of chronological age

Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 1997
It is generally observed that older people have bigger ears and noses. Cartilage is known to alter in structure with age. We conducted a cross sectional study to verify the trend between age and the size of two cartilaginous structures, ear and nose. A total of 100 young individuals were compared to older individuals with respect to their ear and nose ...
